A nurse is caring for a client who has been prescribed a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Which of the following should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
A) Milk
B) Butter
C) Rice
D) Yogurt
Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should ask the client to avoid yogurt because yogurt contains tyramine, which interacts with MAOIs and causes hypertensive crisis. Milk, butter, and rice do not contain tyramine and hence can be consumed when the client is undergoing treatment with MAOIs.
