Answer to Question 1

B
The most important information reported by the wife would be that the client's blood pressure is 170/100 . Parnate is an MAO inhibitor. Clients taking MAO inhibitors who consume substances containing tyramine typically experience a dangerous rise in blood pressure. This may result in stroke or other cardiovascular catastrophe.

Answer to Question 2

D
A client taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors should consider cottage cheese as a safe food. Foods to be avoided are those containing tyramine such as smoked fish, ripe avocados, and fava beans.
