The nurse is caring for a client who takes Carbidopa/Levodopa for treatment of parkinson's symptoms. When helping the client ambulate, the nurse should be aware of the following side effects of this medication:
dizziness.
loss of appetite.
diarrhea.
dry mouth.
mouth and throat pain.
constipation.
change in sense of taste.
forgetfulness or confusion.
Levodopa and Carbidopa are given to patients dealing with the Parkinson's disease and may cause some side effects. Increasing Carbidopa is prescribed to ease nausea, and Domperidone can be used if additional Carbidopa is ineffective. Identification of more intense NMS-like reactions can be complex; thus the patient should be monitored closely for this reaction.
