A client is prescribed phenelzine (Nardil). Which of the following statements by the client should indicate to a nurse that discharge teaching about this medication has been successful? (Select all that apply.)
1. "I'll have to let my surgeon know about this medication before I have my cholecystectomy."
2. "I guess I will have to give up my glass of red wine with dinner."
3. "I'll have to be very careful about reading food and medication labels."
4. "I'm going to miss my caffeinated coffee in the morning."
5. "I'll be sure not to stop this medication abruptly."
1, 2, 3, 5
Rationale: The nurse should evaluate that teaching has been successful when the client states that phenelzine should not be taken in conjunction with the use of alcohol or foods high in tyramine and should not be stopped abruptly. Phenelzine is an MAOI that can have negative interaction with other medications. The client needs to tell other physicians about taking MAOIs, because of the risk of drug interactions.
