It is not within the nurse‘s scope of practice to change the dose of a medication
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
without an order from a prescriber. Asking the patient to demonstrate inhaler use
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
helps the nurse to evaluate the patient‘s ability to administer the medication
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
properly and is part of the nurse‘sevaluation. Assessing tobacco smoke exposure

helps the nurse determine whether nondrug therapies, such a smoke avoidance, can

be used as an adjunct to drug therapy. Performing aphysical assessment helps the

(Lortab)for pain. The patient asks the nurse about using Tylenol for fever. Which

statement by the nurse is correct?

ANS: B nm
Tylenol is the trade name and acetaminophen is the generic name for the same
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
medication. It is important to teach patients to be aware of the different names for
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
the same drug to minimizethe risk of overdose. Over-the-counter (OTC) medications
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
and prescription medications may be taken together unless significant harmful drug

interactions are possible. Even though no drug interactions are at play in this case,
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
both drugs contain acetaminophen, which could lead to toxicity.
