Assignments, Chapter 24, Antiparkinsonism Agents
Written Assignments Learning 1. Create a table to compare anticholinergics, dopaminergics, Objective(s)
2 and adjunctive therapies used to treat Parkinson’s disease. The
table should include therapeutic actions, indications,
pharmacokinetics, contraindications, the most common adverse
reactions, and important drug–drug interactions.
2. You are caring for a 75-year-old patient who takes 3 antiparkinsonism drugs. List special nursing considerations for
this patient.
Group Assignments Learning 1. As a group, discuss the impact of a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Objective(s)
3 disease on a 32-year-old female patient. Discuss nursing
considerations for this patient.
2. Assign each group one of the antiparkinsonism drugs 5 (anticholinergics, dopaminergics, or adjunctive therapies). Each
group lists nursing considerations appropriate for a patient
taking a drug from the assigned group. For each nursing
consideration, provide clear rationale explaining why this
consideration is important.
Clinical Assignments Learning 1. Select a patient in your clinical setting with an ordered Objective(s)
4 antiparkinsonism drug. Determine which drug class the drug
belongs to. Compare the drug to other drugs in the identified
class and to drugs in other antiparkinsonism classifications.
2. Select a patient in the clinical setting with an ordered
antiparkinsonism drug who does not have Parkinson’s disease.
Determine why the patient is getting the drug. Explain the 4 desired therapeutic actions.
Web Assignments Learning 1. Conduct Internet research to find a current theory of the Objective(s)
1 cause of Parkinson’s disease. A good place to start the search is
the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at
http://www.ninds.nih.gov. Summarize the theory and compare
the theory to the clinical presentation of Parkinson’s disease.
2. You are assigned to a 40-year-old male with a diagnosis of
Parkinson’s disease who is starting on a new regimen of
Sinemet. Conduct an Internet search to find information that you
can use in teaching the patient about his medication. Develop
appropriate teaching guides for the patient. 5
