D. "You can take acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol, for pain, but no more than 3000 mg per day."

Explanation:

Due to the large bruise on the patients thigh, he would need medications to relieve him from pain.

As the patient states, he is a truck driver and needs to stay awake. The best medication will be the one that does not cause drowsiness.

Therefore, it will be appropriate for him to take acetaminophen sold by the brand name Tylenol. It does not cause drowsiness like opoids.

1000 mg per day will not be sufficient, however the maximum dosage is 3000 mg per day.
