    ATI nurs 180 Pharmacology Final Proctored Exam

    A client recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease is having education reinforced by the nurse. Which of the following medications would the nurse include in the client's education?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Paroxetine is an SSRI antidepressant used for depression and anxiety disorders, not for Parkinson's Disease. B. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor primarily used for hypertension and heart failure, and it does not address symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. C. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that may be used in some cases for behavioral symptoms but is not a primary treatment for Parkinson's Disease. D. Levodopa (Inbrija) is a medication specifically indicated for the management of Parkinson's Disease, as it helps to replenish dopamine levels, alleviating motor symptoms associated with the disease.
