Case Study

Chapter 7
Over-the-Counter Drugs and Herbal and Dietary Supplements

A nurse is teaching a group of older adult patients about various over-the-counter drugs.

Question 1

One of the older adult patients asks, “Why do I have to be careful about how much acetaminophen I take?” How will the nurse address this question?


Question 2

After finishing the teaching, the nurse overhears an older man talking to his friend. The nurse hears him say, “Rather than taking the prescription medication for my ulcers, I am just going to take over-the-counter medications; they are much cheaper.” Should the nurse intervene?
