    Uploaded by

    Daniel Andre S. Somoray
    1) Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is used for mild pain or fever through inhibiting prostaglandins and other substances involved in pain sensation. 2) It should be used cautiously in patients with liver disease and is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment or active liver disease. 3) Adverse reactions include gastrointestinal issues, rash, and potentially fatal skin reactions at high doses. Nursing responsibilities involve proper dosing, monitoring for signs of liver damage, and educating patients and parents on risks of overuse.
