Your patient is complaining of pain to their left) leg wound site and you had administered Paracetamol 1g 30 minutes ago, but the patient is still complaining of pain. Describe an appropriate nursing intervention
@ninman,
Read your nursing textbook for the answer. There are no homework cheats here.

Check his/her medical records for an appropriate substitute.

In the US, most nursing levels cannot prescribe medicine. You have to be a nurse practitioner to do such. A doctor will be needed to find an appropriate substitute (if that even is the answer to this example). A nurse who isn't appropriately certified will be wasting time checking the patient's medical records for an appropriate substitute.
@tsarstepan,
Thanks. I am not a nurse. I thought nurses could tell the doctor which aspirin substitute the patient could not tolerate.
