Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
The lipid panel reflecting dyslipidemia would include a triglyceride level >200 mg/dL, Total Cholesterol >240 mg/dL, HDL >60 mg/dL and LDL >160 mg/dL. Glucose would not be included on a lipid panel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The acute phase is usually the peak time of stress and anxiety as the life and future of the individual and the family is thrown into disequilibrium. Crisis intervention is most effective here because the individual, family, and caregivers are struggling to come to terms with the knowledge. While the other options are true, they are not as directly related to intervention planning.
