Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
There are 100 units in each mL. Divide that amount by 32 units for the answer (0.32 mL).

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse would evaluate the patient for improvement in function and reduction in symptoms. With preparations containing levodopa and with dopaminergic agents, assess for improvement in mobility, balance, posture, gait, speech, handwriting, and ability to provide self-care. Drooling and seborrhea may be abolished, and mood may be elevated. Stable mood and psoriasis are not findings associated with Parkinson's disease. Assessing for drugdrug interactions is an important nursing assessment but it is not related to evaluating effectiveness of the drug.
