Clients should take acetaminophen for headache.An allergy to this drug may mean the client takes aspirin or ibuprofen (Motrin),which should be avoided.The client needs neurologic checks every 1 to 2 hours,and this client does not seem to have anyone available who can do that.Alcohol needs to be avoided for at least 24 hours.A thermometer is not needed.The client laughing at strenuous activity probably does not engage in any kind of strenuous activity,but the nurse should confirm this.
