A client is receiving education on cholesterol. Which of the following statements from the client indicates the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is, 'It is better for me to have high LDL levels and low HDL levels.' This statement indicates a need for further teaching because high LDL levels contribute to atherosclerosis, while high HDL levels can protect against heart disease.

Choice A is correct as desiring HDL levels over 50 is a positive goal.
Choice B is correct as it reflects the ideal scenario of high HDL and low LDL levels.
Choice D is correct as a total cholesterol below 200 is a common goal for heart health.
