Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing abnormal laboratory values for four clients who have schizophrenia and take clozapine. For which of the following clients should the nurse withhold the medication and notify the provider immediately to have clozapine therapy discontinued?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. A WBC count of 2,900 cells/mm^2 is significantly low, indicating potential severe neutropenia, a known adverse effect of clozapine. Neutropenia puts the client at high risk for infection and is an indication to withhold clozapine immediately and notify the provider to discontinue therapy.

Choices A, B, and C do not pose immediate risks requiring discontinuation of clozapine therapy. BUN of 22 mg/dL is within the normal range, serum potassium of 3.3 mEq/L is slightly low but not critical, and a hematocrit of 55% is elevated but not an immediate concern for discontinuation of clozapine.
