Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This medication is a MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor). Eating foods with this enzyme can trigger a hypertensive crisis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This response gives the patient an opening to share feelings without being pressured to come up with reasons for these feelings. Responses A and C are not helpful for someone with depression because they minimize what the patient is experiencing.
