Mr Henderson Was Seen in the Clinic After Slicing His

Mr. Henderson was seen in the clinic after slicing his arm on a mower blade. The physician cleaned up the wound and inserted eight sutures to hold the edges of the wound together while it heals. The physician tells the patient to take 1 gram of Tylenol every 6 hours as needed for pain. Later that afternoon, Mr. Henderson calls the office. He says he has looked in two different drugstores, but no one seems to carry Tylenol in a strength of 1 gram. He asks what he should do. What should you tell him?

A) Tylenol 1 g is prescription strength, so you will ask the physician to send a medication order to the patient's pharmacy.
B) Purchase Tylenol Extra Strength, which contains 500 mg per caplet, and take 2 caplets every 6 hours as needed.
C) Purchase Tylenol Extra Strength, which contains 500 mg per caplet, and take 3 caplets every 6 hours as needed.
D) Purchase Tylenol Regular Strength, which contains 325 mg per tablet, and take 4 caplets every 6 hours as needed.
