A 30-year-old client who suffers from depression has attempted suicide by overdosing on acetaminophen (Tylenol). The nurse in the emergency department will anticipate that the clients treatment will consist of:
1. An intravenous infusion with normal saline to infuse at 1,000 mL per hour.
2. The administration of acetylcysteine (Acetadote) by intravenous infusion.
3. Preparation for cardioversion due to the impending arrhythmia.
4. The assessment of liver enzymes to determine hepatotoxicity.
