Answer to Question 1

__________ mL

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: Clozapine (Clozaril) is an antipsychotic medication. The client taking clozapine may experience agranulocytosis, which is monitored by obtaining weekly WBC counts. Treatment is withheld if the level drops below 3000 cells/mm3. Agranulocytosis could be fatal if undetected and untreated. The other options are incorrect.
