Answer to Question 1

D
Over-the counter medicines may contain vasopressor agents or tyramine, a substance that must be
avoided when the client takes MAOI antidepressants. Medications for colds, allergies, or congestion
or any preparation that contains ephedrine, phenylephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine may
precipitate a hypertensive crisis. Options A and B: MAOI antidepressant therapy is unrelated to the
need for specific shoe types or leg elevation. Option C: This is undesirable. Chinese dishes often
contain fermented soy products, which are high in tyramine. MAOIs interact with
tyramine-containing foods to produce dangerously high blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse is concerned about justice, that is, fair treatment with the least restrictive methods for both
clients. Option A: Beneficence means promoting the good of others. Option B: Autonomy is the
right to make one's own decisions. Option C: Fidelity is the observance of loyalty and commitment
to the client.
