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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
