The patient tells the nurse she is confused about what she has been reading about lipids. What is (are) the best response(s) by the nurse?
1. "Phospholipids will help prevent Alzheimer's disease."
2. "Phospholipids are essential to building plasma membranes."
3. "Cholesterol is a building block for estrogen and testosterone."
4. "Triglycerides are the major form of fat in the body."
5. "Cholesterol in the diet is unnecessary as the liver synthesizes it."
Correct Answer: 2,3,4,5
Rationale: Triglycerides are the major form of fat in the body, phospholipids are essential to building plasma membranes, cholesterol is a building block for estrogen and testosterone, and cholesterol is not needed in the diet as the liver synthesizes adequate amounts from other chemicals. There is no evidence to support that phospholipids will prevent Alzheimer's disease.
