A nurse is teaching a client about following a low-cholesterol diet after coronary artery bypass grafting. Which of the following client food choices reflects the client's understanding of these dietary instructions?

A. Beans are high in fiber and protein but low in cholesterol and saturated fat, making them an excellent choice for a low-cholesterol diet. Consuming beans can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health, which is particularly important after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). B. Egg yolks are high in dietary cholesterol, which can contribute to elevated blood cholesterol levels. While egg whites are low in cholesterol, whole eggs are not recommended on a strict low-cholesterol diet. C. Liver is one of the highest sources of dietary cholesterol, making it inappropriate for a low-cholesterol diet. Consumption can increase LDL cholesterol and is contraindicated for clients managing hyperlipidemia after CABG. D. Whole milk contains saturated fat and cholesterol, which can negatively impact blood lipid levels. Clients on a low-cholesterol diet should choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products instead.
