Which of the following statements should be included when teaching clients about monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor antidepressants
A．Don't take prescribed or over-the-counter medications without consulting the physician.
B．Avoid strenuous activity because of the cardiac effects of the drug.
C．Have blood levels screened weekly for leukopenia.
D．Don't take with aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
参考答案：A
解析：MAO inhibitor antidepressants when combined with a number of drugs can cause life-threatening hypertensive crisis. It's imperative that a client checks with his physician and pharmacist before taking any other medications. Activity doesn't need to be limited. Blood dyscrasias aren't a common problem with MAO inhibitors. Aspirin and NSAIDs are safe to take with MAO inhibitors.
