A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving morphine sulfate for pain relief.
Which of the following findings indicates a potential adverse effect of the medication?

The nurse should take the following actions when administering acetaminophen to a client who has a fever:

• Check the client’s liver function testsbecause acetaminophen can cause hepatotoxicity and liver damage, especially in clients who have preexisting liver disease or who take high doses of the medication.

• Assess the client’s pain levelbecause acetaminophen is also an analgesic that can reduce pain and discomfort associated with fever.

• Monitor the client’s fluid intake and outputbecause fever can cause dehydration and fluid loss, and acetaminophen can also affect renal function and urine output.

• Ask the client about any history of alcohol usebecause alcohol can increase the risk of liver damage from acetaminophen, and clients who consume more than three alcoholic drinks per day should avoid taking acetaminophen.
