A nurse is providing patient education for a 71-year-old patient and the spouse. The patient has taken levodopa (Dopar) for Parkinson's disease for 2 weeks but reports no improvement in the symptoms.
 
  The nurse should tell the patient
  a. Stop the drug. If you have not noticed any effects within 2 weeks, the prescriber may need to change your drug regime.
  b. It may take several months for a response to occur. Continue the medication as prescribed.
  c. Double the dose to see whether an effect occurs. Finding the correct dose takes many adjustments.
  d. Another agent will need to be added to the regimen to manage your symptoms.
