Walter, a teenage patient, is admitted to the hospital because of acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose. Overdoses of acetaminophen can precipitate life-threatening abnormalities in which of the following organs?

Choice A reason: Amiodarone treats arrhythmias, not vasodilation or BP reduction primarily. Nitroglycerin fits, per nursing pharmacology. This errors universally, distinctly missing cardiac output goals.

Choice B reason: Albuterol dilates airways, not vessels; BP isn’t lowered. Nitroglycerin is correct, per nursing standards. This misaligns universally, distinctly unrelated to vasodilation.

Choice C reason: Pravastatin lowers cholesterol, not BP via vasodilation. Nitroglycerin matches, per nursing pharmacology. This errors universally, distinctly off-target for cardiac effects.

Choice D reason: Nitroglycerin vasodilates, boosts cardiac output, and lowers BP for angina. This aligns, per nursing standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly effective in practice.

Choice A reason: Anti-emetics prevent vomiting; emetics induce it for poisoning. This reverses, per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, errors in drug action direction.

Choice B reason: Irritants cause inflammation; emetics, like ipecac, trigger vomiting specifically. This misidentifies, per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, missing the emetic purpose.

Choice C reason: Anti-spasmodics relax muscles; emetics induce vomiting, not relaxation. This errors, per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, unrelated to vomiting induction.

Choice D reason: Emetics induce vomiting to remove toxins, matching the definition. This aligns, per nursing standards. It’s universally applied, distinctly effective for emergencies.
