Because of the risk of postural hypotension, the client on clozapine (Clozaril) should be taught which of the following?
1. To wear sunscreen if going outdoors
2. To rise slowly from a lying position
3. To check for involuntary movements of the mouth
4. To have weekly blood work
2
Rationale: Antipsychotic medications have a risk for postural hypotension that could lead to a fall if the client rises too quickly. Wearing a sunscreen is necessary due to photosensitivity, not hypotension. Blood work checks for agranulocytosis. Mouth movements are not caused by hypotension.
