Practice Question
The nurse is instructing a client about management of hyperlipidemia .Which statement by the client indicates the need for further teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"By taking my cholesterol medication, I will not need to modify my diet"
Rationale:
◼️Hyperlipidemia management requires a combination of pharmacologic therapy and lifestyle modification; medications alone are not sufficient.
◼️A heart-healthy diet (low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol, high in fiber) is essential to reduce LDL cholesterol and improve lipid profile.
◼️Exercise improves HDL levels and supports weight management, both of which contribute to lowering cardiovascular risk.
◼️Client education should emphasize that medications supplement but do not replace dietary and lifestyle changes.
◼️Regular monitoring through lipid panels helps track the effectiveness of the combined therapy.
