A patient with Parkinson's disease says, I always take my other medications with my bacon and eggs each morning. Can I take the levodopa (Dopar) at this time too? The nurse's best response would be
 
  a. You can take the levodopa at breakfast if it helps you to remember to take it.
  b. You should take all of your medications together to enhance efficacy.
  c. You should take the levodopa at least 1 hour before you eat your breakfast.
  d. You should never take this medication with food, because that would increase its side effects.
