, A mother has brought her 6-year-old child to the clinic. The child has a fever of 102.8ºF and is
diagnosed with the flu. What medication will the nurse suggest for this child?
A) Etanercept (Enbrel)
B) Penicillamine (Depen)
C) Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
D) Aspirin (Bayer)
Ans: C
Feedback:
Acetaminophen would be the suggested medication. It is prescribed for relief of pain and fever for
influenza in children. Aspirin would be contraindicated because it increases the risk for Reye's
syndrome. Etanercept and penicillamine are given for severe rheumatoid arthritis therapy.
A nurse is presenting an educational event for a group of new parents. One topic that the nurse
addresses is the overuse of acetaminophen, which can cause liver toxicity. What would the nurse tell
the parents it is important to do?
A) Do not give acetaminophen (Tylenol) unless you receive a doctor's order.
B) Check the label of over-the-counter (OTC) medications carefully to watch for inclusions of
acetaminophen in the ingredients.
C) Monitor their child's temperature carefully and regulate the Tylenol dose based on the fever.
D) Mix OTC children's medications to get the best coverage for their child's symptoms.
Ans: B
Feedback:
Inadvertent overdose with acetaminophen frequently occurs because of the combining of OTC drugs
that contain the same ingredients. Parents should be taught to carefully check the labels of OTC
products and follow the dosage guidelines. A prescription is not required for acetaminophen. Dosage
guidelines are the best guide to follow to prevent overdose.
A mother asks the nurse how acetaminophen works. What statement best describes the therapeutic
action of acetaminophen?
A) Acetaminophen (Tylenol) works by blocking the increase of interleukin-1.
, B) Acetaminophen reacts with free-floating tumor necrosis (TNF) factor released by active
leukocytes.
C) Acetaminophen acts directly on the hypothalamus to cause vasodilation and sweating.
D) Acetaminophen is taken up by macrophages, thus inhibiting phagocytosis and release of lysosomal
enzymes.
Ans: C
Feedback:
Acetaminophen acts on the hypothalamus to cause vasodilation and sweating to reduce fever. The
mechanism of action as an analgesic is not understood. Anakinra (Kineret) blocks the increased
interleukin-1, which is responsible for the degradation of cartilage in rheumatoid arthritis. Etanercept
(Enbrel) reacts with free-floating TNF released by active leukocytes in autoimmune inflammatory
disease to prevent the damage caused by TNF. Gold compounds are taken up by macrophages, which,
in turn, inhibits phagocytosis and releases lysosomal enzymes, which causes damage associated with
inflammation.
Antipyretic drugs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen) often are used to alleviate the discomforts of
fever and to protect vulnerable organs, such as the brain, from extreme elevations in body temperature.
However, the use of aspirin in children is limited due to the possibility of what disease?
A) Munchausen's syndrome
B) Guillain-Barré syndrome
C) Angelman's syndrome
D) Reye's syndrome
Ans: D
Feedback:
Salicylates like aspirin are contraindicated for the treatment of childhood fevers because of the risk of
Reye's syndrome in children and teenagers. Munchausen's syndrome is an unusual condition
characterized by habitual pleas for treatment and hospitalization for a symptomatic but imaginary acute
illness. Guillain-Barré syndrome is an idiopathic, peripheral polyneuritis that occurs 1 to 3 weeks after
a mild episode of fever associated with a viral infection or with immunization. Angelman's syndrome is
an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by jerky puppet-like movements, frequent laughter,
