Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the patient that if tyramine found in chocolates and coffee interacts with linezolid, the patient will develop an increased risk for severe hypertension. Tyramine-containing foods interacting with linezolid do not cause drowsiness, nervousness, or nausea.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Myopathy with elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels may occur if daptomycin is administered with statin drugs (cholesterol reduction). Therefore, the nurse would assess CPK levels. The combination of statin therapy and daptomycin has no effect on blood glucose levels, white blood count, or international normalized ratio (INR).
