Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
MAOIs are antidepressants that are well-known for their multiple drug and food interactions. As such, dietary modifications are necessary. Such modifications are not normally necessary when a client is receiving SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, or atypical antidepressants.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Off-label prescribing is providing a drug for a different diagnosis, at an unapproved dose, outside the approved age group, for longer than the approved interval, or at a different dose schedule. An example is prescribing mirtazapine (Remeron) to induce sleep.
