Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Because linezolid is a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor, patients should avoid food high in tyramine content, such as aged cheeses. Pasta, garlic, and green leafy vegetables are not contraindicated with linezolid.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A synthetic opioid that is about 100 times more potent than morphine sulfate, fentanyl can be used to supplement sedation, regional techniques, and general anesthesia. Codeine, meperidine, and oxycodone do not have intraoperative applications.
