Answer to Question 1

D
A desirable serum total cholesterol level is <200 mg>

Answer to Question 2

B
Primary goals of therapy to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease focus on lowering blood levels of LDL cholesterol. Lowering serum triglyceride levels and VLDL cholesterol levels and in-creasing HDL cholesterol levels also decreases cardiovascular risk, but are not the main focus.
