Question 1 of 5
The client asks how the body gets rid of cholesterol. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cholesterol is secreted in bile. Bile is produced by the liver and contains cholesterol, which is essential for digestion. Cholesterol is excreted from the body primarily through the bile into the intestines, where it is eventually eliminated in the feces. This process helps regulate cholesterol levels in the body.
Choice A is incorrect because HDL is a type of lipoprotein that helps transport cholesterol in the blood, not excrete it.
Choice C is incorrect because cholesterol is not primarily eliminated through the kidneys but through the liver and intestines.
Choice D is incorrect because cholesterol is not excreted in sweat, but rather through bile.
It is important for the nurse to provide accurate information to the client regarding how the body eliminates cholesterol to promote understanding of cholesterol management.
