Question 1 of 5
Which of the following foods might a client with hypercholesterolemia need to decrease intake of?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A client with hypercholesterolemia should decrease their intake of foods high in cholesterol. Hamburgers, being red meat, have a high cholesterol content, hence should be decreased in the diet. Broiled catfish, wheat bread, and fresh apples are not high in cholesterol, so there is no need to decrease their intake. Broiled catfish is a lean source of protein, wheat bread is a complex carbohydrate, and fresh apples are a good source of fiber and vitamins.
Therefore, hamburgers are the correct choice to decrease intake for a client with hypercholesterolemia.
