This patient's blood pressure should be monitored because phenelzine is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor and can lead to a hypertensive crisis when taken with tyramine-containing foods such as cheese. Phenelzine is a non-selective and irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI); patients taking it should not consume large quantities of tyramine-containing foods (like aged cheese and cured meats) because the interaction can lead to a hypertensive crisis. MAOIs are a class of antidepressants and are primarily used to treat major depressive disorder. Incorrect Answers: Answers 1-3, 5: Taking phenelzine and eating aged cheese may inadvertently alter heart rate, oxygen saturation, creatine phosphokinase, and temperature but these are not the primary cause of morbidity and are less important to monitor.
