This finding is consistent with: a toxic level of acetaminophen in the serum. a therapeutic level of acetaminophen in the serum. a high level of acetaminophen in the serum. a low level of acetaminophen in the serum. 9. A toddler has had an episode of emesis, has not had a wet diaper in 5 hours, and has a capillary refill greater than 3 seconds.
