Question 1 of 5

An older adult with PD is prescribed levodopa and carbidopa. What information should the nurse include when teaching the client and spouse?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When first taking levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet), the client is likely to experience dizziness and orthostatic hypotension due to the dopamine agonist properties. The client and spouse must be alerted about the increased risk for falls. Levodopa/carbidopa can be taken with multiple vitamins. Levodopa/carbidopa can be taken with food to decrease GI upset. There are many, not few, adverse effects associated with levodopa/carbidopa, including involuntary movements, anxiety, memory loss, blurred vision, and mydriasis.
