Question 2

Mr. R is concerned about eating too much bad cholesterol and asks the nurse what makes some cholesterol good and some bad. The best response the nurse can make is that:
 
  1. Good cholesterol is needed by the body to build cell walls and other functions, whereas bad cholesterol builds up in blood vessels and causes cardiovascular disease.
   2. Good cholesterol builds fat stores that can be used for energy if needed by the body, whereas bad cholesterol has no real purpose.
   3. Bad cholesterol causes a buildup of adipose tissue in the abdomen and can lead to heart attacks but good cholesterol is used by the body to produce energy.
   4. Bad cholesterol is difficult to absorb in the intestines and ends up being eliminated in the stool with little nutritional value but good cholesterol is used to build cell walls.

Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Adolescents are at risk of consuming inadequate amounts of several nutrients, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, and fiber, because they are underconsuming several food groups.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Cholesterol is used by the body to synthesize steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acids as well as building cell walls. In moderation all cholesterol is considered good because it helps the body function properly. Cholesterol is considered to be bad when there is an overabundance that builds up in blood vessels and causes them to narrow. LDL is most often referred to as bad cholesterol by consumers because it has been linked with CVD. Fat stores are used for energy in the absence of sufficient glucose to supply the body's energy needs. Cholesterol is readily absorbed by the intestines.
