Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
The nurse should plan interventions to address dysphagia, immobility, insomnia, and urinary in-continence. Hallucinations are not part of the late Parkinson disease symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

B
Although light exercise and relaxation techniques may be helpful in reducing stress, the nurse should first address concerns and provide information about the disorder. Providing necessary information is a major stress reducer. Stating only that the nurse can't imagine how you feel provides no therapeutic value, and medications are not a first-line treatment for stress.
