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?
