Rationale 1: Assessing the client's blood pressure is appropriate because Chianti wine is high in dietary tyramine. This can result in a hypertensive crisis when combined with an MAOI drug. So the nurse must check the client's blood pressure. It is important to discuss the effects of alcohol and antidepressants, but physiological assessment takes priority over education.
Rationale 2: Discussing the effects of wine on the action of antidepressants is incorrect because while it is important to discuss the effects of alcohol and antidepressants, physiological assessment takes priority over education. Likewise, alcohol can increase the symptoms of depression, but physiological assessment takes priority over education.
