Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to report laboratory results to the provider for a client who is taking clozapine. For which of the following findings does the nurse anticipate a prescription to discontinue clozapine?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: WBC 2,500/mm³ (5,000 to 10,000/mm³). Clozapine is associated with agranulocytosis, which is a severe decrease in white blood cells (WB
C). A WBC count of 2,500/mm³ is significantly low and places the client at risk for infection. It is a common reason to discontinue clozapine due to the potential for serious infections.

Choices:
A: Magnesium level is slightly high but not a reason to discontinue clozapine.
