Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
MAO inhibitors have many dietary restrictions with potentially serious adverse reactions, so this should be an important part of teaching.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse should communicate respect for families and cultures at all times. Respect for cultural diversity may be demonstrated by including traditional practices into plans as long as they are safe and do not conflict with evidence-based care.
