Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Sorbital is a sugar alcohol used as filler in medication that can act as a laxative. Yellow dye 5 is used as a coloring agent is some medications and can cause dermatologic symptoms in clients with an allergy. Gluten should be avoided with clients who may have an allergy or who have celiac disease. Hidden sodium can produce an adverse effect on clients with a sodium-restricted diet.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patients who take MAOIs should avoid foods that contain tyramine, including salami and aged cheeses such as parmesan. Grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be avoided by patients who take certain other drugs, but does not affect MAOIs. None of the other foods listed are high in tyra-mine.
