Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors can cause hypertensive crisis when certain foods or drugs are consumed, therefore, blood pressure should be closely monitored to detect signs of adverse drug reaction. Temperature, pulse, and respirations may also be assessed, but they are not specifically indicative of adverse drug reactions associated with MAOI use.
