Ans: A
Feedback:
When levodopa and adrenergic blockers are administered together, the effect of the levodopa is decreased. Therefore, the client's Parkinson's disease may not be controlled as effectively as before. The effect of the adrenergic blocker is not increased, nor is the risk for levodopa toxicity. The client is not experiencing psychotic behavior.
