Question 1 of 5

A patient has been treated with antiparkinson medications for 3 months. What therapeutic responses should the nurse look for when assessing this patient?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Improved ability to perform activities of daily living. This is because antiparkinson medications are aimed at improving motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia, which can enhance the patient's ability to perform daily tasks. Decreased appetite (
B) is not typically a therapeutic response, and newly developed dyskinesias (
C) are actually a potential adverse effect of antiparkinson medications. Gradual development of cogwheel rigidity (
D) is also not a desired therapeutic response as it indicates worsening of symptoms. It is important for the nurse to monitor the patient for the intended therapeutic responses to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.
