Question 1 of 5
Which of the following patients is most at risk for liver damage after taking acetaminophen regularly for arthritis pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Acetaminophen is primarily metabolized by the liver. Patients with a history of alcohol abuse have impaired liver function, making them more susceptible to acetaminophen-induced liver damage. Additionally, hepatitis C can further compromise liver function, increasing the risk.
Choice B is incorrect as COPD and smoking history do not directly impact liver metabolism of acetaminophen.
Choice C is incorrect as type 2 diabetes and end-stage renal disease do not significantly affect liver metabolism of acetaminophen.
Choice D is unrelated to liver function and acetaminophen metabolism.
