Answer to Question 1

B
The SIP is a useful tool that can be used by nurses to determine problems most troublesome from the patient's perspective. The Geriatric Depression Tool measures depression, and the MMSE-2 and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Tool measures cognitive ability.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. This is a true statement, although heavy drinking should be avoided.
B Correct. This statement is not true. The majority of persons with PD remain alert and intelligent, but motor difficulties in facial expression and speech can give a false impression of cognitive impairment.
C Incorrect. This is a true statement. Lewy body dementia (LBD), which can occur in some patients with Parkinson's symptoms, accounts for 15 to 20 of de-mentia.
D Incorrect. This statement is true because interactions of rasagiline with tyramine can cause sudden, severe hypertension.
