    Danica Kate Galleon
    Acetaminophen is a nonopioid analgesic used to treat mild pain and fever. It works by inhibiting prostaglandins involved in pain and fever transmission. It is contraindicated in cases of liver problems, severe malnutrition, shock, or acetaminophen overdose. Side effects include potential liver toxicity or failure with overdose. Nursing considerations involve assessing signs of fever, advising on proper dosing and not exceeding recommended amounts, and instructing patients to consult a provider for prolonged or high fevers.
