A client with a strong family history of coronary artery disease asks the nurse how to reduce the risk of developing the disorder. Which is the best response by the nurse?
A) "Moderation is the key to everything."
B) "Ask your physician to prescribe the new reverse lipid drug."
C) "Increase the soy in your diet."
D) "Exercise, keep your cholesterol in check, and manage your stress."
D
Feedback:
Although moderation is the key, this does not provide specific options for this client such as regular exercise and managing stress and cholesterol levels. The reverse lipid drug sounds good but is not available or approved by the FDA. Soy products have limited benefits for cholesterol control.
