Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Stopping aspirin a week before surgery is generally recommended to reduce the risk of bleeding. Aspirin can inhibit platelet aggregation and prolong bleeding time.

Choice B rationale

Taking prescribed blood pressure medication with a sip of water on the day of surgery is usually allowed. However, this can depend on the specific medication and the patient’s health status.

Choice C rationale

Not wearing contact lenses on the day of surgery is a standard preoperative instruction. This is because contact lenses can interfere with anesthesia administration and potentially cause injury to the eyes.

Choice D rationale

A recent cough and runny nose could indicate a respiratory infection. This could potentially increase the risk of complications during surgery and may need to be evaluated further. OK. Let’s go through these questions one by one:

A. Celery sticks B. Sliced apples C. Bologna sandwich D. Glass of whole milk .

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Celery sticks are safe to consume while on a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medication. They do not contain tyramine, which can cause a hypertensive crisis if consumed while taking an MAOI8.

Choice B rationale

Sliced apples are also safe to consume while on an MAOI medication. They do not contain tyramine.

Choice C rationale

Bologna sandwiches should be avoided while on an MAOI medication. Bologna is a type of processed meat that can be high in tyramine.

Choice D rationale

A glass of whole milk is safe to consume while on an MAOI medication. It does not contain high levels of tyramine.
