Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Cheddar cheese and Polish sausage are high in tyramine, which produces a life-threatening reaction of hypertension when combined with rasagiline. The other listed foods are not high in tyramine.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Zoster vaccine is administered to adults 60 years and older to prevent herpes zoster (shingles). The Haemophilus influenzae Type b is not administered to prevent herpes zoster. HPV and pneumococcal vaccine do not address the risk factors for shingles.
