A nurse is collecting data from a client about risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings is a modifiable risk factor?

A. Family history of cardiovascular disease: This is a non-modifiable risk factor. Family history can increase the likelihood of cardiovascular disease, but it cannot be changed. B. Cholesterol 240 mg/dL: This is a modifiable risk factor. High cholesterol levels, particularly above 200 mg/dL, increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, and they can be managed through lifestyle changes, diet, and medication. C. Sex: This is a non-modifiable risk factor. Men are generally at higher risk for cardiovascular disease at a younger age, while the risk increases for women after menopause. D. Age 65: This is a non-modifiable risk factor. As people age, their risk for cardiovascular disease increases.
