@nurse_lingo: A client arrives in the ED 6 hours after taking a large dose of acetaminophen. Which medication should the nurse anticipate giving? 👀 Comment A, B, C or D. 600+ NCLEX questions like this in the NurseLingo app (link in bio). . . . . Answer: B. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is the antidote for acetaminophen overdose and is most effective within 8 to 10 hours of ingestion. At 6 hours, this client is still inside that window. A: the trap. Naloxone reverses opioids, not acetaminophen. C: flumazenil reverses benzodiazepines. D: protamine sulfate reverses heparin. Rule: Acetaminophen overdose = N-acetylcysteine, best within 8 to 10 hours. #nclex #nursingstudent #nursingschool #nclexrn #nclexprep #acetaminophen #antidotes #futurenurse
