Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
When linezolid is taken with foods containing tyramine, such as aged cheese and meats, yogurt, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, and alcohol, the risk for severe hypertension increases. Prunes and broccoli pose no risk to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Interaction of antacids with a tetracycline drug causes decreased absorption of tetracycline. Increased action of neuromuscular blocking drugs and increased profound respiratory depression are the result of interaction between neuromuscular blocking drugs and tetracyclines. Increased risk of bleeding is a result of interaction between anticoagulants and tetracyclines.
