Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The MAOIs increase levels of tyramine. Therefore, if the client overdoses, takes other medications that interact with MAOIs, or eats foods that contain tyramine, NE will accumulate, leading to hypertensive crisis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
A combination of psychotherapy and medications is more effective than either approach alone in treating depressive disorders (NIMH, 2008a). Individual psychotherapeutic modalities are numerous. Family therapy also may help clients and their loved ones struggling with ongoing challenges related to chronic depression. In addition to psychopharmacologic strategies, somatic therapies such as electroconvulsive therapy may be alternatives for clients with refractory depression.
