Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: MAOI inhibitors block the normal metabolism of tyramine, a substance found in aged foods such as cheese, resulting in increased levels in the blood that can cause a hypertensive crisis. Spinach is a source of Vitamin A. Poultry and fish are good sources for protein.

Answer to Question 2

C
Antihyperlipidemic drugs may decrease absorption of fat-soluble vitamins because they bind fat-soluble vitamins and bile making them unavailable to the body. These drugs also lower ab-sorption of iron, vitamin B12, and folate, but do not affect absorption of other minerals and wa-ter-soluble vitamins. Absorption of amino acids is not affected by these drugs.
