Question 1 of 5

The client with PD has a new surgically implanted DBS. After the stimulator is operational, which criterion should the nurse use to evaluate that the DBS is effective?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Cogwheel rigidity, a symptom of PD, is interrupted muscular movement and is not treated with the DBS. DBS is a treatment used for intractable tremors associated with PD. The electrical current interferes with the brain cells initiating the tremors. Severe facial pain is associated with trigeminal neuralgia, not PD rau. The DBS will not affect facial expression. Auras are unusual sensations experienced before a seizure occurs and are not associated with PD.
