Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
Beer, red wines, well-ripened cheeses (such as camembert, edam, roquefort, parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar), and overripe bananas contain tyramine. Red meat and green vegetables do not contain tyramine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
If the patient prescribed an MAOI drug has a history of severe renal disease, the medication must not be given and the prescribing health care provider consulted. It is not necessary to assess temperature at this time. An alternative medication needs to be ordered by a health care provider licensed to prescribe. Assessing urine output does not apply to this situation.
