Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is taking phenelzine and reports eating aged cheese. Which of the following is a manifestation of an interaction between the medication and the food?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypertension. Phenelzine is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) that can interact with tyramine in aged cheese, leading to a hypertensive crisis. Tyramine can cause the release of norepinephrine, resulting in increased blood pressure. A is incorrect because somnolence is not typically associated with this interaction. B is incorrect as bradycardia is not a common manifestation. C is incorrect as diarrhea is not a typical symptom of this interaction.
Therefore, the correct answer is D due to the potential for a dangerous hypertensive crisis.
