[Oral antiparkinsonian treatments, nursing practices in Ehpad]

Abstract

Parkinson's disease is a complex, chronic and debilitating disease that requires a personalised treatment regimen, focusing on the regular administration of medication. The management of these treatments can be tricky in institutions for the dependent elderly, particularly when oral administration is difficult. A preliminary survey was carried out in order to establish the current state of nursing practices in these institutions.
