Answer to Question 1

B, C, D

Answer to Question 2

B
Interaction between MAOIs and meperidine can lead to symptoms such as fever, hypertension, and coma. Meperidine is more commonly known as Demerol and is a narcotic analgesic. This makes surgery especially dangerous for people on MAOIs due to the potential for inadvertent administration of Demerol to manage post-operative pain.
