,A nurse is assessing a client who has schizophrenia prior
to administering the client's next dose of clozapine.
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to
the provider?
A. Diaphoresis
B. Fever
C. Polyuria
D. Diarrhea
B. Fever.
Fever can be a sign of infection, which is a serious concern
in clients
taking clozapine due to the risk of agranulocytosis, a
,potentially life-threatening side effect characterized by a
severe decrease in white blood cell count.
Any signs of infection, including fever, should be reported
promptly to the provider for further evaluation and
management.
A. Diaphoresis, or excessive sweating, is a common side
effect of clozapine and may not necessarily indicate a
need for immediate
intervention. However, it should be documented and
monitored for any
changes.
C. Polyuria, or excessive urination, is not typically
associated with clozapine use and may be indicative of
, other underlying issues such as diabetes mellitus or
diabetes insipidus. While it should be assessed and
managed appropriately, it is not specifically related to
clozapine administration and may not require immediate
reporting to the provider.
D. Diarrhea is a common gastrointestinal side effect of
clozapine and may occur due to its effects on the
gastrointestinal system. While persistent or severe diarrhea
should be monitored and managed, it is not typically
considered a serious adverse reaction that requires
immediate reporting to the provider unless it is
accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
