(TCA) to not expect to see a difference in mood or anxiety level for up to:
a. 5 days
b. 2 to 3 weeks
c. 4 to 5 weeks
d. 6 weeks
ANS: B
It is important that the client understand that TCAs typically take 2 to 3 weeks to take effect
so he will not become discouraged when he does not see immediate results.

(MAOI). Which is the most important teaching point the nurse must include in his care plan?
a.Avoid foods high in sodium content
b.Avoid alcoholic beverages

d.Take a potassium supplement I G B.C M
NU S N T O
ANS: B
This client should be given a list of foods and beverages that are restricted when taking
MAOIs, such as some alcoholic beverages, sausage and bologna, and some cheeses. Sodium,
protein, and potassium are not factors when MAOIs are taken.
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.
