Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has schizophrenia and takes clozapine. Which of the following findings is a priority for the nurse to report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sore throat. A priority finding to report with clozapine is agranulocytosis, which presents with symptoms like sore throat. This is crucial to detect early to prevent severe infection. A: Nausea is a common side effect of clozapine but not a priority over potential agranulocytosis. B: Random blood glucose of 130 mg/dL is slightly elevated but not an immediate concern. C: Heart rate of 104 per minute may be a side effect but is not as critical as agranulocytosis. Reporting the sore throat promptly can lead to timely intervention and prevent serious complications.
