""You can take acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol, for pain, but no more than 3000 mg per day."""

B. ""We will discuss with your doctor about taking an opioid because that would work best for your pain

Explanation:

Answer is D

Explanation:

Acetaminophen is known to be a pain reliever and fever reducer. It is temporarily useful in treating or relieving mild , moderate and severe pain or in reducing fever.

It should be understood that acetaminophen is indicated for milk to moderate pain and does not cause drowsiness, as an opioid would.

It should be noted that recently or currently, the maximum daily amount of acetaminophen is 3000 mg per day. The 1000-mg amount per day is described as too low.

In this case,telling or expecting the patient not to take any pain medication is incorrect, and should not be mentioned.

does it have options?

i believe it is true.
