If your patient was taking clozapine (Clozaril), what laboratory result would you want to monitor for adverse effects?

White blood cell count
Platelet count
Blood glucose
Liver function studies

Explanation

Answer: A - The nurse would want to monitor the patient’s white blood cell count while they are taking this medication. This medication commonly causes agranulocytosis. Treatment would be interrupted if the white blood cell count drops below 3000 cells/mm. Agranulocytosis could become fatal if not detected.
