Question 1 of 5

A psychiatrist prescribes a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) for a client. When teaching the client about the effects of tyramine, which foods will the nurse caution the client to avoid?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pepperoni pizza and red wine. MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of tyramine, leading to a dangerous increase in tyramine levels. Pepperoni contains high levels of tyramine, and red wine also contains tyramine. Potato chips and diet Coke (
A), bagels with cream cheese and tea (
B), and apple pie and coffee (
C) are not typically high in tyramine and do not pose the same risk as pepperoni and red wine.
Therefore, the client should avoid foods like pepperoni pizza and red wine to prevent a hypertensive crisis.
