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.
