for pain management; 4/01/24, to give 650 mg three times a day for back pain and 650 mg as needed for
back pain once daily; and current physician's orders dated 5/09/24, to give 650 mg of Tylenol three times a
day for other low back pain, and give 650 mg of Tylenol every four hours as needed for pain, may have one
