Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
White Americans have the highest incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). This patient has total cholesterol of 260 mg/dL, which is considered high according to the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel. The other three patients could be at risk due to cultural risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and HDL level to cholesterol ratio. However, their total cholesterol levels fall within normal or desirable range.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Nauseated patients who start swallowing repeatedly or complain about secretions in their throat are in the process of preparing for vomiting. The nurse should reach for the emesis basin. Offering water will increase vomiting. Placing the patient in a supine position risks the danger of aspiration of stomach contents into the lungs. Continuing the bath does not prepare the nurse if the patient begins to vomit.
