.A nurse is modifying the diet of a client who has Parkinson's disease and a prescription for selegiline, a monamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Which of the following foods should the nurse eliminate from the client's diet?.

Correct Answer: B

Choice A rationale:

Fresh fish is not a food that needs to be eliminated from the diet of a client taking an MAOI like selegiline. It does not contain tyramine, which can cause a hypertensive crisis in clients taking MAOIs.

Choice B rationale:

Cheddar cheese is a food high in tyramine and should be eliminated from the diet of a client taking an MAOI. Consuming foods high in tyramine can lead to a hypertensive crisis in these clients.

Choice C rationale:

Cherries are not a food that needs to be eliminated from the diet of a client taking an MAOI. They do not contain tyramine.

Choice D rationale:

Chicken is not a food that needs to be eliminated from the diet of a client taking an MAOI. It does not contain tyramine.

So, the correct answer is B. Cheddar cheese.
