RATIONALE
Medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) are highly metabolized by the liver and should be avoided. Other such drugs are barbiturates and sedatives. Options 1 and 2 are ordered to decrease the ammonia level, and option 3 may be ordered for pain. Omit options 1 and 2 as these are commonly used to reduce ammonia. Demerol is the better option for pain.
