    The patient was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 2 months ago and exhibits tremors and a shuffling gate. Nursing interventions over 1-3 days include instructing the patient on techniques to initiate movement such as rocking from side to side to start leg movement and concentrating on an erect walk with a wide base. Chair exercises and aerobic classes are also encouraged to increase flexibility and balance. Anti-parkinsonian drugs as prescribed along with warm baths and massages help reduce rigidity and muscle spasms. The goal is for the patient to improve and maintain functional mobility as long as possible given the limitations of the disease process.
