A 3-year-old is admitted to the pediatric unit with a traumatic injury to the right forearm. The mother had been giving the child aspirin at home to control pain and fever.
 
  Approximately 3 weeks prior to admission, the child had an upper respiratory infection. The mother asks the nurse why the doctor changed the child's medication from aspirin to acetaminophen. What is the nurse's best response?
  1. Typically, aspirin is a safe salicylate for children of any age.
  2. Acetaminophen is given to children for inflammation and fever when there is a recent or current history of a viral infection, due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
  3. I really do not know, but I am certain the health care provider has a good reason.
  4. It would be important for the doctor to allow you to continue to medicate your child, since there is a strong level of trust between mother and child.
