Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a client diagnosed with coronary artery disease. Which set of laboratory results indicates a need for client teaching regarding dietary modifications?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the client's cholesterol level is elevated at 200 mg/dl, HDL is low at 35 mg/dl, and triglycerides are high at 190 mg/dl. These results indicate a need for dietary modifications to improve the lipid profile and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
Choice A is incorrect because the cholesterol level is extremely low at 20 mg/dl, which is not a concern for dietary modifications.
Choice B is incorrect because the cholesterol level is within the normal range at 165 mg/dl.
Choice D is incorrect because although the triglycerides are high at 220 mg/dl, the cholesterol and HDL levels are not significantly elevated or reduced to warrant immediate dietary modifications.
