Question 1 of 5
A client who is newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and beginning medication therapy asks the nurse, 'How soon will I see improvement?' The nurse's best response is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the case of Parkinson's disease, improvement in symptoms may take several weeks of therapy to become noticeable.
Therefore, the correct answer is to inform the client that it might take several weeks before they notice improvement.
Choice A acknowledges individual variability but does not provide a specific timeframe, making it less reassuring.
Choice B suggests deferring the question to the physician, which is not the most supportive response.
Choice C is incorrect because improvement in Parkinson's disease symptoms typically does not occur within a few days.
