The correct response by the nurse for a patient that experiences no improvement after taking levodopa-carbidopa (Sinemet) for Parkinson's disease for 2 weeks is to inform the patient that it may take several months for a response to occur.
Levodopa and carbidopa are a combination used to treat Parkinson's disease. Levodopa changes into dopamine in the brain which helps to control movement while carbidopa prevents levodopa breakdown in the bloodstream so more levodopa can enter the brain.
