Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching plan for a patient being started on levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) for newly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease?
- A. Take medication on a full stomach
- B. Change positions slowly
- C. The drug may cause the urine to be very dilute
- D. Carbidopa has many adverse effects
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Postural hypotension is common early in treatment, so the patient should be instructed to change positions slowly. Administration with meals should be avoided, if possible, because food delays the absorption of the levodopa component. If the patient is experiencing side effects of nausea and vomiting, administration with food may be considered. The levodopa component may darken urine. Carbidopa has no adverse effects of its own.
For which patient diagnosis would a prescription for nifedipine be least appropriate?
- A. Angina Pectoris
- B. Essential HTN
- C. Atrial Fibrillation
- D. Vasospastic Angina
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nifedipine primarily acts as a calcium channel blocker. It lacks significant effects on the calcium channels of the heart, making it ineffective for treating dysrhythmias like Atrial Fibrillation. Nifedipine is commonly used in conditions such as angina pectoris, essential hypertension, and vasospastic angina due to its vasodilatory effects and anti-anginal properties.

A patient who has PUD and is receiving magnesium hydroxide (MOM) is experiencing an increased number of BM. Which is the nurse’s priority action?
- A. Ask the HCP for a reduction in dose
- B. Encourage the patient to increase dietary fiber
- C. Administer the drug with an aluminum hydroxide antacid
- D. Instruct patient to keep an accurate stool count
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: MOM is a rapid-acting antacid with a prominent adverse effect of diarrhea. To compensate, it usually is administered in combo with aluminum hydroxide which promotes constipation. A reduction in dose might be necessary if the diarrhea is severe, but this is not a priority action. Increasing dietary fiber and keeping a stool count are appropriate actions to implement after adding an antacid to counteract the diarrhea effect.
