Answer to Question 1

D
The body needs fat-soluble vitamins, which come in the form of green leafy vegetables. These are stored in the body. Animal fats are high in saturated fatty acids, which increase blood cho-lesterol. Approximately 98 of all lipids in food and 90 of all lipids in the human body are in the form of triglycerides, which have been linked to cardiovascular disease.

Answer to Question 2

B
A patient's cultural beliefs and personal values influence hygiene care. Maintaining cleanliness may not have the same importance for some ethnic groups as it does for others. In some cultures, it is customary to completely bath only once a week. Never shave facial hair or hair without the patient's permission.
