Answer 1

The correct client statement that indicates an understanding of the teaching is: "Foods that contain tyramine might trigger my headaches".

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct client statement that indicates an understanding of the teaching is:

A. "Foods that contain tyramine might trigger my headaches"

This statement shows that the client understands that certain foods, such as those containing tyramine, can trigger their migraines.

The other statements do not demonstrate a complete understanding of the teaching. B is close, as keeping a food and headache diary can help identify triggers, but it does not specifically mention tyramine. C shows a good understanding of a coping mechanism for migraines, but does not address the cause. D is incorrect because taking sumatriptan once every day is not the recommended dosing frequency. E is incorrect because staying awake until the headache is gone does not align with recommended self-care for migraines.
