A priority for the nurse teaching a patient and his family about dietary practices related to Parkinson's disease is to address the risk of:
A) Fluid overload and drooling
B) Aspiration and anorexia
C) Choking and diarrhea
D) Dysphagia and constipation
Ans: D
Feedback: Eating problems associated with Parkinson's disease include aspiration, choking, constipation, and dysphagia. Option A is incorrect since fluid overload isn't specifically related to Parkinson's disease, and although drooling occurs with Parkinson's disease, it doesn't take priority. Anorexia (option B) and diarrhea (option C) aren't specifically associated with Parkinson's disease.
