Case Study Movement Disorder with Fall Injury Gary Jansek is a 70-year-old who has lived with Parkinson’s disease for decades. He was a well-respected bank president when diagnosed at the age of 45. When diagnosed, it was expected that Gary would require full-time care within 10 years. After the prognosis and months of depression, his lifestyle changed. He retired early and focused on staying active. He and his wife moved to the community near
his adult children. They were able to golf and swim every day, socialize with other couples, eat healthier, and focus on each other. The relaxing lifestyle slowed the progression of his symptoms. Gary and Judy believe that this lifestyle is why Gary is still able to function somewhat independently. 1.How did Gary’s lifestyle changes slow the progression of symptoms? Select all that apply.
a.Healthier eating allows for better absorption of medications. b.Physical activity builds muscle strength and coordination. c.Socialization improves depression. d.The reduction of stress decreases the need for dopamine. e.Retiring provides for financial stability. Gary is beginning to fall several times a week. He sometimes feels that his feet “stick to the floor” and when he cannot get moving he falls forward. At other times he becomes very dizzy when standing and loses his balance. He and Judy make an appointment with the provider to discuss their concerns. 2.The nurse completes and assessment, which finding is most concerning?
