Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with schizophrenia is prescribed clozapine. The nurse teaches the client and family to call the physician immediately if:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: There are any signs of infection. Clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, a serious side effect that suppresses the immune system, leading to an increased risk of infection.
Therefore, any signs of infection such as fever, sore throat, or flu-like symptoms must be reported immediately to the physician to monitor for agranulocytosis.
Choice B is incorrect because a decrease in hallucinations is a therapeutic effect of clozapine and should be expected.
Choice C is incorrect as a decrease in appetite is a common side effect of clozapine and usually improves over time.
Choice D is incorrect as insomnia is a common side effect of clozapine and does not require immediate medical attention.
