A nurse is caring for a client who has Parkinson's disease and is starting to display bradykinesia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

The correct answer is A: Give the patient extra time to perform activities. Bradykinesia is a hallmark symptom of Parkinson's disease characterized by slow movement. By giving the patient extra time, the nurse allows the client to perform activities at their own pace, reducing frustration and promoting independence. Choice B is incorrect because teaching the client to walk more quickly goes against the nature of bradykinesia. Choice C is irrelevant as a low-protein, low-calorie diet is not indicated for bradykinesia. Choice D is not directly related to addressing bradykinesia and may not be the most effective intervention.
