A 3 year old child with upper respiratory infection and low-grade fever is being treated with Acetominophen. The nurse is reviewing important anticipatory guidance with the parents which statement by the parents indicates the need for further teaching about this medication?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Acetaminophen can be given every 4 to 6 hours, but every 2 hours is too frequent and indicates a need for further teaching. B. The maximum daily dose for a child should be based on their weight and typically should not exceed 75 mg/kg/day; stating 4000 mg is too high for a child, indicating a misunderstanding of dosing. C. Administering acetaminophen rectally is appropriate if the child cannot take it orally, particularly during vomiting episodes. D. Notifying the provider about jaundice is critical, as it may indicate liver dysfunction, which is important when using acetaminophen.
