Answer to Question 1

26
Rationale: Research has shown that for every 1 in LDL cholesterol level, a client can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease by 1. This client has decreased their LDL cholesterol level from 165 to 122 mg/dL, which is a drop of 43 points. Take 43 and divide it by 165. The answer is 26.06 which rounds to 26.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
New foods should be introduced in plain and simple form one at a time for a period of 5 to 7 days to identify allergic reactions.
