A nurse is providing teaching for a client who has a new prescription for clozapine. Which of the following statements indicates the client understands the teaching?

Choice A reason: Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is not a typical adverse effect of clozapine. This statement does not indicate understanding. Choice B reason: Clozapine does not prevent seizures; in fact, it can lower the seizure threshold, increasing risk. This statement is incorrect. Choice C reason: Clozapine can cause orthostatic hypotension, leading to dizziness or fainting when changing positions. Rising slowly helps prevent falls and injuries, making this the correct teaching point. Choice D reason: Clozapine is administered orally, not by intramuscular injection. This statement shows misunderstanding of the medication’s route.
