Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Requip (ropinirole) is a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease and restless leg syndrome, which can cause physical mobility impairment and increase the risk of falls. Therefore, impaired physical mobility related to Parkinson's disease and risk for injury related to fall risk are appropriate nursing diagnoses for a patient taking Requip. Impaired gas exchange, decreased cardiac output, risk for fluid volume deficit, and ineffective coping are not directly related to the medication and the patient's diagnosis.
