Question 2

A nurse is evaluating a 17-year-old boy's comprehensive cholesterol laboratory work. The result is 132 mg/dl. The nurse knows that:
 
  1. This is too high, and the boy should get a referral for a nutritionist.
   2. This is too high because of the types of foods teens prefer to eat.
   3. This is within normal limits, and the boy should continue with the same eating style.
   4. This is within normal limits because of the higher level of metabolism in teens.
