For several reasons. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease mostly causing degeneration of the midbrain, caused by a decreased dopamine level.

One thing an MA needs to remember is that in advanced stages of the disease, Parkinson's can result in poor historical accuracy from the patient. They may have some cognitive deficiencies. Additionally severe stages of the disease cause a loss of our sense of balance and severe tremors, so the patient may need your support when standing and moving.

Give your personal opinion about prescription drugs? Asap!
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

They are safe and unsafe at the same time

The person who gets the drug at the pharmacy is controlled but the person who has it can give it to anyone. This is a problem because prescription drugs are safe for that one specific person but if anyone else takes it can be deadly for them.

PLEASE HELP Are fast food restaurants getting healthier? Why or why not If you answered Yes then list 2 changes fast food restau
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

No they have not been getting "healthier".While fast-food chains have ostensibly been trying to offer more healthful options, a new study finds that the health impact of their menus has not improved — to the contrary, in fact.

Explanation:

The entire point of fast food is that it is cheap and quick to make. Healthier food is more expensive, at least assuming that you want food that is at all filling (a light salad and some fruit can be ready quickly but it won't fill you up). It will also take more effort to make it appetizing.
