ANS: B
Fever, sore throat, and malaise are symptoms of agranulocytosis, a serious side effect of taking clozapine. Weekly blood counts are necessary to monitor for the condition. Sunlight exposure is a risk for persons taking chlorpromazine hydrochloride (Thorazine). There are no dietary restrictions for persons taking clozapine. While weight gain may occur when taking antipsychotic medication, daily monitoring is not required.
