Answer to Question 1

A
Norms establish expectations that promote safety and trust in a therapeutic environment through sanctioning of socially appropriate behaviors. The other elements cannot be assessed as related to the scenario.

Answer to Question 2

A
MAOIs and ingested tyramine interact to produce hypertensive crisis, a life-threatening medical emergency, so it is necessary to teach the patient foods to avoid. The other options are unrelated to tranylcypromine therapy.
