Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing care for an 82-year-old man whose signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease have worsened over the past several months. The man states that he can no longer do as many things for himself as he used to be able to. What factor should the nurse recognize as impacting the client's life most significantly?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Loss of independence. This is the most significant factor impacting the client's life because Parkinson's disease has led to a decline in the man's ability to perform daily activities independently. Loss of independence can have profound emotional and psychological effects on an individual, affecting their overall quality of life. Tremors and decreased mobility (choice
A) are symptoms of Parkinson's disease but do not address the client's emotional and psychological well-being. Age-related changes (choice
C) are a general factor and do not specifically address the impact of the disease on independence. Neurologic deficits (choice
D) are related to Parkinson's disease but do not directly address the client's loss of independence.
