C. Physical therapy for muscle strengthening.
D. Fetal tissue transplantation.
Give this one a try later!
D. Masklike facies and a shuffling gait.
Rationale:
Masklike facies and a shuffling gait are two clinical manifestations of PD.
TEST TAKING HINT:
Option "3" refers to arm swing and speech, both of which are affected by PD. The
test taker needs to decide if the adjectives used to describe these activities-
"exaggerated" and "scanning"-are appropriate. They are not, but masklike facies and
shuffling gait are.
, D. Fetal tissue transplantation.
Rationale:
Fetal tissue transplantation has shown some success in PD, but it is an
experimental and highly controversial procedure.
TEST TAKING HINT:
The test taker should not overlook the adjective "experimental." This would
eliminate at least option "3," physi. cal therapy, and option "2," which refers to
standard dopamine treatment, even if the test taker was not familiar with all of
the procedures.
D. "The tissues must match or the body will reject the kidney and it will be wasted."
Rationale:
There are 27 known human leukocte antigens (HLAs). HLAs have become the
principal histocompatibility system used to match donors and recipients.The greater
the number of matches, the less likely the client will reject the organ.Different races
have different HLAs.
TEST-TAKING HINT:
Option "2" can be eliminated because the client asked for information. Option "1"
can be eliminated because the statement supports an unethical situation.
D. Offer six (6) meals per day with a soft consistency.
Rationale:
The client's energy levels will not sustain eating for long periods. Offering frequent
and easy-to-chew (soft) meals of small proportions is the preferred dietary plan.
TEST TAKING HINT:
The correct answer for a nursing problem question must address the actual
problem.

TEST TAKING HINT:

expected as part of the disease process. If they are, a new graduate
can care for the client; if they are not expected occurrences, a more
experienced nurse should care for the client.
Give this one a try later!
