Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about clozapine for schizophrenia. Which monitoring requirement should be emphasized?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Weekly white blood cell counts. Clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, a serious condition characterized by a dangerously low white blood cell count. Monitoring WBC counts weekly is crucial to detect this adverse effect early.
Choice B (daily blood pressure checks) is not directly related to clozapine monitoring.
Choice C (monthly liver function tests) is important but not as critical as monitoring WBC counts.
Choice D (biweekly glucose levels) is not a specific monitoring requirement for clozapine.
