Answer to Question 1

C
Serious side effects may result when a client taking an MAO inhibitor eats sharp cheddar cheese. This is due to the high levels of tyramine in aged cheeses. Other foods that have high levels of tyramine include salami and sauerkraut.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse would recognize that teaching of family members was successful if family members verbalized that they should let the addict suffer the logical consequences of addictive behavior. Family members who assist an alcoholic or drug addict in maintaining addictive behaviors only aid their loved one in the general downward spiral of chemical dependence. Family members need help to realize that there is hope for recovery only if and when the addict him- or herself is willing to stop the addiction. Enabling behaviors serve only to keep the addict from having to confront his or her behavior.
