Question 1 of 5
An older patient exhibits a shuffling gait, lack of facial expression, and tremors at rest. The nurse will expect the provider to order which medication for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Carbidopa-levodopa (Sinemet). The patient's symptoms are indicative of Parkinson's disease. Carbidopa-levodopa is the mainstay treatment for Parkinson's as it helps replenish dopamine levels in the brain to improve motor symptoms. Tacrine, Rivastigmine, and Donepezil are medications used for Alzheimer's disease, not Parkinson's.
Therefore, they are incorrect.
