Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor will lead to a hypertensive crisis. Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor does not result in hyperglycemia. Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor results in hypertension, not hypotension. Combining St. John's wort and an MAO inhibitor will not result in hyperkalemia.
