Question 1 of 5
A patient who has Parkinson disease is being treated with the anticholinergic medication benztropine (Cogentin). The nurse will tell the patient that this drug will have which effect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Reducing some of the tremors. Benztropine is commonly used in Parkinson's disease to help manage tremors by blocking the excessive activity of acetylcholine in the brain. This leads to a reduction in tremors. Other choices are incorrect because Benztropine does not directly improve mental function (
B), help the patient walk faster (
C), or minimize symptoms of bradykinesia (
D). Benztropine primarily targets tremors in Parkinson's disease.
