While assessing a client who takes acetaminophen for chronic pain, the nurse observes that the client's skin looks yellow in color. Which action should the nurse take in response to this finding?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Yellow skin (jaundice) suggests liver damage, a serious acetaminophen side effect (C) (matches 55-Q47). Reporting to the provider is critical. Glucose (A) and oxygen saturation (D) are unrelated. Reducing dosage (B) without consultation is unsafe.
