Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3

Rationale 1: Tomato soup does not contain tyramine. The client receiving an MAOI must avoid foods high in tyramine. A hypertensive crisis will result if the client eats foods high in tyramine.
Rationale 2: Avocado contains tyramine.
Rationale 3: Grilled chicken breast does not contain tyramine. The client receiving an MAOI must avoid foods high in tyramine. A hypertensive crisis will result if the client eats foods high in tyramine.
Rationale 4: Bologna contains tyramine.
Rationale 5: Wine and beer both contain tyramine.

Global Rationale: Tomato soup and grilled chicken breast do not contain tyramine. The client receiving an MAOI must avoid foods high in tyramine. A hypertensive crisis will result if the client eats foods high in tyramine. Avocado, bolgna, beer and wine all contain tyramine and should be avoided.
