Acetaminophen Administration After Nausea/Vomiting Has Resolved
Question #28
If we had a patient presenting with nausea/vomiting and abdominal pain who could not receive oral medications due to the vomiting and the medic treated with IM ketorolac and IM dimenhydrinate but throughout transport improved to no longer have any bouts of nausea/vomiting but was still in pain, would we be permitted to give acetaminophen since it is not contraindicated and would achieve the synergistic effect desired of giving an NSAID and acetaminophen.
Answer:
Good afternoon!
For this situation you can definitely consider Acetaminophen administration.
Take care!
