Question: 58-year-old patient is experiencing moderately severe osteoarthritis pain and is reluctant to take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) because of past experiences with gastrointestinal bleeding when taking ibuprofen. Although the patient has found that acetaminophen 1,000 mg every 4 hours adequately controls the pain, the health care provider is concerned because the patient has a history of alcoholic liver disease and currently drinks about 6 beers per day. Under what circumstances would it be safe to allow this patient to take acetaminophen?
