Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Rasagiline is an MAO-B inhibitor. Patients must be taught to avoid foods with tyramine, an amino acid that can cause a hypertensive crisis when patients are taking these drugs. Examples of such foods are aged cheeses, sour cream, and soy sauce (see Box 23-2 in the text).

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
The goals of treatment for Parkinson's disease are to minimize disability, reduce possible side effects of drug therapy, and help the patient maintain a high quality of life. There is no cure for this illness, which is progressive. Drugs can help slow the progression and control the symptoms.
