A client is prescribed olanzapine for schizophrenia.
How will the nurse monitor the client for adverse side effects? (Select all that apply).

Weigh the client.

Observe skin turgor.

Ask client about falls.

Obtain blood pressure.

Obtain blood sugar.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,E

Olanzapine is an antipsychotic drug that can cause weight gain and increased blood sugar as common side effects.

Therefore, the nurse should monitor the client’s weight and blood sugar regularly to prevent complications such as obesity and diabetes.

Choice B is wrong because olanzapine does not affect skin turgor, which is a measure of hydration status.

Choice C is wrong because olanzapine does not cause falls, although it may cause dizziness or unsteadiness as side effect.

Choice D is wrong because olanzapine does not cause significant changes in blood pressure, although it may cause orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing up) as a side effect.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The nurse should respect the client’s privacy and confidentiality by not discussing the client’s condition in a crowded elevator, even with the health care provider. The nurse should suggest a more private area to have the conversation.

Choice A is wrong because it shows a lack of professionalism and accountability. The nurse should be able to provide a brief update on the client’s status to the health care provider, even if the nurse is off duty.

Choice B is wrong because it implies that the healthcare provider does not have the right to access the client’s information, which is not true. The health care provider is part of the health care team and has a legitimate need to know the client’s condition.

Choice D is wrong because it violates the client’s privacy and confidentiality by disclosing sensitive information in front of other people. The nurse should not share any details about the client’s condition or treatment without the client’s consent or unless it is necessary for the client’s care.

A. Increased stress incontinence. B. Improved self-concept. C. Decreased resting pulse and blood pressure. D. Improved sleep quality. E. Improved sleep quality.
