Question 1 of 5
A client with Bulimia and depression who is taking phenelzine (Nardil) 90 mg daily is admitted to an acute care hospital for uncontrolled hypertension. What dietary choices should the RN instruct the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Beef tips with gravy. Phenelzine is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) that can interact with tyramine-rich foods, potentially causing hypertensive crisis. Beef tips with gravy contain high levels of tyramine, which can lead to a dangerous spike in blood pressure when combined with MAOIs. Pan-seared catfish, pepperoni pizza, and deep-fried shrimp are not typically high in tyramine and do not pose the same risk.
Therefore, the RN should instruct the client to avoid beef tips with gravy to prevent complications.
