Answer to Question 1

C
Self-esteem, risk for situational low is most appropriate because of his previous independence. The other options are also nursing diagnoses, but the situation does not lend itself to these diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

A
These laboratory values indicate the possibility of agranulocytosis, a serious side effect of clozapine therapy. These results must be immediately reported to the health care provider, and the drug should be withheld. The health care provider may repeat the test, but in the meantime, the drug should be withheld.
