Question 1 of 5
While assessing a client who takes acetaminophen for chronic pain, the nurse observes that the client’s skin looks yellow in color. Which action should the nurse take in response to this finding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Yellow skin suggests jaundice, indicating potential liver damage from acetaminophen, which is hepatotoxic in high doses. Reporting to the provider ensures evaluation and possible dose adjustment. Glucose, oxygen saturation, or self-reducing the dose are inappropriate without further assessment.
