Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor with foods containing high levels of tyramine, such as Chianti wine and cheese, can lead to a dangerous increase in blood pressure known as hypertensive crisis. The client should be cautioned against consuming these foods while taking the medication. Light activity, sunbathing, and smoking low-nicotine cigarettes are not specifically contraindicated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, although smoking in general is not recommended due to increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
