Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Feedback:
MAOIs can cause drugdrug and drugfood interactions, which can precipitate cardiovascular effects that include orthostatic hypotension, arrhythmias, palpitations, angina, and the potentially fatal hypertensive crisis. Priority teaching points include monitoring blood pressure which will elevate with tyramine ingestion and the importance of not taking any OTC without physician or pharmacist consultation due to multiple drugdrug interactions. When taking an MAOI, you would not necessarily take the drug at bedtime or drink lots of fluid. Blurred, but not double, vision is an adverse effect of an MAOI.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Nursing diagnoses related to drug therapy might include disturbed sensory perception (kinesthetic) related to CNS effects. Cardiovascular effects are not a concern with this medication; acute, not chronic, pain is associated with GI, CNS, and local effects of the drug; option D is an intervention, not a nursing diagnosis.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
