3. A female client is 3-days postoperative and has been receiving meperidine (Demerol) for pain
control. The family mentions to the nurse that the client has been taking phenelzine (Nardil)
for years for her depression. The client did not list this medication on admission. What signs
and symptoms should the nurse look for in case of reaction between these two medications?
a. Increased pulse and respirations
b. Hyperactivity and difficulty concentrating
c. Increased tearing and increased urinary output
d. Sedation, disorientation, and hallucinations
ANS: D
Nardil is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor; therefore, symptoms of CNS depression such as
sedation, disorientation, and hallucinations, rather than increased vital signs, hyperactivity and
difficulty concentrating, and increased tearing and urination, most likely would occur as a
reaction between these two medications.
