    Omeprazole inhibits gastric acid production by blocking hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase. Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Nurses should evaluate for therapeutic response, question patients about gastrointestinal discomfort, and report symptoms like black stools or abdominal pain. Acetaminophen relieves mild to moderate pain and fever by activating descending serotonergic pathways and inhibiting hypothalamic heat regulation. Potential side effects are rash, nausea, and stomach pain. Nurses assess pain and fever, monitor for signs of toxicity, and educate patients on safe usage.
