Answer to Question 1

B
MAOIs block the enzyme from metabolizing monoamine neurotransmitters. The enzyme's purpose is to metabolize the neurotransmitters into biologically inactive forms. The three specific neurotransmitters MAOIs block are norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. The blocking of the enzyme results in an increased concentration of the neurotransmitters in neuronal cells.

Answer to Question 2

C
The analysis/nursing diagnosis phase of the nursing process is in use when the nurse identifies problem areas. Assessment identifies symptoms while planning and implementation involves putting solutions into the therapy plan. Evaluation reviews the outcomes of the therapy plan.
