Title: A client with Parkinson disease asks the nurse why dopamine is not given as a neurotransmitter repla Post by: BreakFree on Feb 7, 2015 A client with Parkinson disease asks the nurse why dopamine is not given as a neurotransmitter replacement. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
1. “The risk for hypertension is too high with dopamine; therefore, more frequent cardiac monitoring would be required.” 2. “Exogenous dopamine cannot cross the blood–brain barrier and would be of little use.” 3. “Exogenous dopamine must be administered via intravenous infusion, which usually requires a central line and continuous cardiac monitoring.” 4. “In older clients, the effects of dopamine on urinary function can pose an unacceptable risk for renal failure.” Title: Re: A client with Parkinson disease asks the nurse why dopamine is not given as a neurotransmitter r Post by: ngin on Feb 13, 2015 Content hidden
