Question 3 of 5
The home-care nurse visits an older client diagnosed with Parkinson's disease who requires instillation of multiple eye drops. Which instruction for the administration of eye drops should the nurse plan to provide to this client who demonstrates signs/symptoms of this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Older adults diagnosed with Parkinson's disease will experience tremors, making it more difficult to instill eye drops. The older client is instructed to lie down on a bed or sofa to instill the eye drops to provide control and allow the drops to be administered more easily. If multiple eye drops are needed, there should be a wait time of 3 to 4 minutes between drops. It is unreasonable to expect a family member to be available consistently to instill the eye drops. Additionally, this discourages client independence. Placing the eye drops in the refrigerator should not be done unless specifically prescribed.

Coffee, grapes, and bananas are acceptable for this client to consume because their phosphate levels are not significant.
