Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results for a male adult client who is at risk for peripheral arterial disease due to atherosclerosis. The nurse should identify which of the following results places the client at risk?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: High LDL (172 mg/dL, optimal <100 mg/dL) promotes atherosclerosis, increasing PAD risk by depositing cholesterol in arteries. Triglycerides (130 mg/dL, <150 mg/dL), HDL (84 mg/dL, >40 mg/dL), and glucose (92 mg/dL, 70–99 mg/dL) are normal, not risk factors. LDL drives plaque buildup.
