  4. By increasing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Tricyclic antidepressants block neurotransmitter uptake, increasing the amounts of norepinephrine and serotonin available. 1. This is the action of typical antipsychotic medication. 3. This is not the action of tricyclics. 4. Benzodiazepines, not tricyclics, increase the effects of GABA.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
MAOIs require clients to observe a tyramine-free diet to prevent hypertensive crisis. Liver is a food that contains large amounts of tyramine. Options 1, 2, and 3 have no relevance for MAOI therapy.
