Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Feedback:
Serum lab levels within the desirable level would indicate the teaching was effective; they include a total cholesterol level of less than 200, an HDL cholesterol level of higher than 40, an LDL cholesterol level of less than 129, and a triglyceride level of less than 50 . Weight loss is also a positive outcome.

ProQuad is an immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella virus vaccine indicated for children aged 12 months to 12 years. Varicella virus vaccine is indicated for adults and children older than 12 months of age.
