Administering the UPDRS involves both patient interviews and clinical examinations. Nurses play a significant role in this process: - Interview: Nurses conduct interviews to gather information about the patient’s non-motor and motor experiences of daily living. - Clinical Examination: Nurses may assist in performing motor examinations, observing the patient’s movements and noting any abnormalities. - Scoring: Each item on the UPDRS is scored, and the total score helps determine the overall severity of the disease.
