A client with HIV is diagnosed with hyperlipidemia. What diet instruction should the nurse provide to this client?
a. Limit all meat intake
b. Remove the skin from meat
c. Limit exercise to avoid fatigue
d. Avoid low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt
b. Remove the skin from meat
Saturated fats contribute to the development of hyperlipidemia. Removing the skin from meat will reduce saturated fat content. Limit red meats and choose lean meats (turkey, chicken). Instruct the client on practical methods of exercise for 30 minutes most days of the week to increase HDL-C. Low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt all contain low saturated fat content.
