A 38-year-old patient with myasthenia gravis who declined prescribed medications

B. Document the activity in the patient's health record.
C. Take the patient's blood pressure sitting and standing.
D. Ask if the patient is feeling either anxious or depressed. - Answer: B. Document the activity in
the patient's health record.
Patients with Parkinson's disease are instructed to rock from side to side to stimulate balance
mechanisms and decrease akinesia.
The nurse provides dietary instructions to the in-home caregiver of a 45-year-old man who has
Huntington's disease. The nurse is most concerned if the caregiver makes which statement?
A. "Depression is common and may cause a decrease in appetite."
, B. "If swallowing becomes difficult, a feeding tube may be needed."
C. "Calories should be restricted to prevent unnecessary weight gain."
D. "Muscles in the face are affected, and chewing may become impossible." - Answer: C. "Calories
should be restricted to prevent unnecessary weight gain."
Patients with Huntington's disease may require 4000 to 5000 calories per day to maintain body weight.
Weight loss occurs in patients with Huntington's disease because of choreic movements, difficulty
swallowing, depression, and mental deterioration.
Which measure should the nurse prioritize when providing care for a patient with a diagnosis of multiple
sclerosis (MS)?
A. Vigilant infection control and adherence to standard precautions
B. Careful monitoring of neurologic assessment and frequent reorientation
C. Maintenance of a calorie count and hourly assessment of intake and output
D. Assessment of blood pressure and monitoring for signs of orthostatic hypotension - Answer:
A. Vigilant infection control and adherence to standard precautions
Infection control is a priority in the care of patients with MS, since infection is the most common cause
of an exacerbation of the disease. Decreases in cognitive function are less likely, and MS does not
typically result in malnutrition, hypotension, or fluid volume excess or deficit.
A male patient with a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) has been admitted recently to a long-term
