the nurse instructs a patient taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (maoi) to avoid which food?\norange juice\negg salad sandwiches\nice cream\ngrilled cheese sandwiches
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) interact with tyramine - rich foods. Among the options, none of the others are high in tyramine, but certain cheeses in grilled cheese sandwiches can be high in tyramine. MAOIs inhibit the enzyme that breaks down tyramine, leading to a dangerous increase in blood pressure if tyramine - rich foods are consumed.
# Answer:
Grilled cheese sandwiches
