A client with Parkinson's disease is scheduled for stereotactic surgery. Which finding indicates that the surgery had its intended effect?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Stereotactic surgery, such as deep brain stimulation, aims to reduce motor symptoms like intractable tremors in Parkinson's disease. It does not directly affect dopamine or serotonin production, and medication is often still required post-surgery.
