A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking tranylcypromine and reports ingestion of tyramine-rich foods.

The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following findings as an adverse effect of this medication?

Stressors can be categorized as external or internal. External stressors are factors or events in the environment that can cause stress.

In this case, the recent move to a new city is an external stressor because it is an event that has occurred outside of the client and is influencing their current state of stress. Moving to a new city can bring about significant changes and challenges, such as adjusting to a new environment, finding new social connections, and adapting to unfamiliar surroundings.

Feeling depressed is an internal stressor because it relates to the client's emotional state or mental health condition. Depression can be caused by various factors, such as biochemical imbalances, life circumstances, or genetic predispositions.

Lack of nutritional knowledge: This is an internal stressor because it refers to the client's lack of knowledge or awareness regarding nutrition. While the lack of nutritional knowledge can contribute to stress, it is an internal factor that can be addressed through education and learning.

While recurring urinary tract infections can be stressful for the client, they are considered an internal stressor because they involve a physical condition or health issue within the client's body. Addressing and managing the infections would involve medical interventions and possibly lifestyle modifications.

Checking the client's urine output regularly is important to monitor kidney function, hydration status, and the proper functioning of the urostomy. This information helps assess the client's overall condition and ensures that urine is flowing adequately. Any significant changes in urine output should be reported to the healthcare team.

Restricting the client's fluid intake until they are free of pain in (option A) is not necessary to be included in the discussion unless specifically ordered by the healthcare provider. Adequate hydration is important for promoting healing and preventing complications.

Expecting the stoma to appear pale until healing is complete in (option B) is not necessary to be included in the discussion. A healthy stoma should have a pink or reddish appearance, indicating good blood supply. A pale stoma may suggest poor blood flow, and this should be assessed and reported to the healthcare provider.

Expecting the client's urine to contain clots for the first 24 hours in (option D) is not included in the discussion after urostomy surgery. Urine containing clots may indicate bleeding or other complications, and this should be promptly evaluated by the healthcare team.
