Question 1 of 5
When treating clients with medications for Parkinson's disease, the nurse knows that the wearing-off phenomenon occurs for which reason?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the wearing-off phenomenon in Parkinson's disease occurs when medications gradually lose their effectiveness over time in controlling the symptoms. This happens due to the progressive degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, leading to reduced response to medication.
Choice A is incorrect because it refers to liver metabolism, which is not the primary cause of wearing-off phenomenon.
Choice B is incorrect as it describes fluctuations in response, not the gradual loss of effectiveness.
Choice D is incorrect as it addresses tolerability issues, not the specific mechanism of wearing-off phenomenon in Parkinson's disease.
