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: Clozapine is an antipsychotic used primarily for schizophrenia, not for preventing seizures. While it may lower the seizure threshold as a side effect, it is not prescribed for seizure control, making this statement incorrect. Choice B reason: Clozapine is typically administered orally, not by intramuscular injection every 2 weeks. Long-acting injectable antipsychotics exist, but clozapine is not one of them, so this statement does not reflect correct understanding. Choice C reason: Clozapine can cause orthostatic hypotension, leading to dizziness or fainting upon standing. Rising slowly from a lying position helps prevent this, indicating the client understands an important precaution for safe use of the medication. Choice D reason: Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is not a common side effect of clozapine. More common side effects include sedation, weight gain, and agranulocytosis, so this statement does not show correct understanding.
