Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is creating an educational pamphlet for a low-income area that has a high rate of obesity. What should the nurse include as recommended actions for a family with a child who has been diagnosed with obesity and hyperlipidemia?
Correct Answer: A,C
Rationale: The correct answers are A and C. A children-specific heart health diet is important for managing obesity and hyperlipidemia. This diet should focus on whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to promote heart health. Nutrition guidance from a pediatric specialist is also crucial as they can provide tailored advice based on the child's specific needs.
Choice B, starting on statin medication first, is not recommended as lifestyle modifications should be the first line of treatment for children with obesity and hyperlipidemia.
Choices D and E, encouraging excessive screen time and excessive exercise, are not appropriate recommendations as they do not address the root causes of obesity and hyperlipidemia and may even be harmful.
