Question 1 of 5

A nurse is educating a client who is prescribed clozapine. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as consistent with agranulocytosis and instruct the client to monitor?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sore throat and muscle aches. Agranulocytosis is a severe side effect of clozapine characterized by a dangerously low white blood cell count, leading to increased risk of infection. Sore throat and muscle aches are early signs of infection due to neutropenia. Monitoring for these symptoms is crucial to promptly detect agranulocytosis.

Choices A, B, and D are not consistent with agranulocytosis and are more indicative of other conditions or side effects. Severe restlessness may be seen in agitation, respiratory depression and a comatose state are more indicative of opioid overdose, and increased anxiety and suicidal ideations are common side effects of psychiatric medications but not specifically related to agranulocytosis.
