Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Clients taking MAO inhibiting drugs must be on a tyramine-free diet to prevent hypertensive crisis.
In the presence of MAO inhibitors, tyramine is not destroyed by the liver and in high levels produces
intense vasoconstriction, resulting in elevated blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

C
The safety of the other clients in the room is of primary importance. Once other clients are out of the
room, a plan for controlling this client can be implemented.
