Early symptoms of acetaminophen toxicity include diaphoresis, pallor, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. As the liver injury progresses, individuals may develop late symptoms associated with acute hepatic necrosis and liver failure. This can present with jaundice or yellowing of the skin, coagulopathy or impaired clot formation, and hepatic encephalopathy or brain dysfunction that\u2019s due to liver disease. Normal vital signs for a 4-year-old child are temperature: under 100.4 F (38 C), heart rate 80 to 120\/min, respiratory rate: 20 to 28\/min, blood pressure: 89-112 mmHg systolic and diastolic 46-72 mmHg, and oxygen saturation 95 to 100% on room air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span><strong><em>________________________<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Want more NCLEX\u00ae-style practice questions?
