Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Hamburger, French fries, and a strawberry milkshake do not contain tyramine and, although high in fat, it would not be contraindicated for a patient taking an MAOI. Blue cheese, sardines, pepperoni, Swiss cheese, and corned beef are all high in tyramine and would indicate further teaching was needed.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A cold environmental temperature can cause blood vessels to vasoconstrict and decreases absorption or in a hot environment vasodilate and increase absorption of IM medications. Blood flow to the subcutaneous tissues interferes with subcutaneous injection and blood flow to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract causes alterations in absorption for oral medications. The condition of mucous membranes can interfere with sublingual (under the tongue) and buccal (in the cheek) administration of drugs.
