Ampicillin may cause an alteration in taste. Opiates, such as morphine, cause decreased peristalsis and may result in constipation. Decreased drug absorption may occur when diuretics, such as fu-rosemide, are administered with food. Decreased acetaminophen absorption may occur if admin-istered with food. Overdose of acetaminophen is associated with liver failure. Morphine, furo-semide, and acetaminophen do not affect the client's sense of taste.
