A nurse in a mental health clinic is caring for schizophrenia. The client is accompanied by their partner. Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, 2 actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and 2 parameters the nurse should monitor to collect data about the client's progress.

Rationale for Correct Answer: Condition Most Likely Experiencing: Agranulocytosis: The client is taking clozapine, which carries a risk of agranulocytosis (severe neutropenia). Findings supporting agranulocytosis: WBC count: 1,330/mm³ (low), absolute neutrophil count: 950/mm³ (low), fever: 38.3°C (101°F), sore throat, fatigue, dizziness, typical early signs of infection due to neutropenia. The client’s symptoms are consistent with infection risk secondary to clozapine-induced neutropenia, requiring urgent attention. Actions to Take: Advise the client and their partner about reverse isolation precautions: Protect the client from infection due to severely low WBC/neutrophil counts. Instruct the client's partner about initiating seizure precautions: Clozapine lowers seizure threshold; precautions are important even though a seizure has not occurred yet. Parameters to Monitor: WBC count: Primary indicator of severity and recovery of agranulocytosis. Temperature: Monitor for signs of infection due to neutropenia. Rationale for Incorrect Options: Hyperglycemia: Casual blood glucose is only slightly elevated (108 mg/dL), and there are no acute symptoms of hyperglycemia. Seizure disorder: No seizure activity reported; clozapine can lower seizure threshold, but current presentation does not indicate a seizure. Extrapyramidal effects: There are no signs of tremor, rigidity, dystonia, or akathisia reported. Reinforce teaching about fall precautions: While important in general, this is not the immediate priority in agranulocytosis. Encourage client to record weight daily: Weight monitoring is relevant for metabolic side effects, not acute neutropenia. Demonstrate capillary blood glucose: Not priority here; glucose is mildly elevated but not the cause of acute symptoms. Electrocardiogram: Not immediately relevant to agranulocytosis; sinus tachycardia may be secondary to infection or hypotension. Weight gain: Relevant for metabolic side effects of clozapine, not acute infection risk. Blood glucose: Mildly elevated but not the focus for current acute symptoms.
