A older adult client tells the nurse that of having a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level of 85 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L). Which action should the nurse take? Reference Range: High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) [greater than 45 mg/dL (greater than 0.75 mmol/L)]

A. A high HDL level typically indicates a lower risk for heart disease, and medication therapy is generally not indicated for high HDL. B. Reducing fatty food intake is not necessary since a high HDL level is associated with lower cardiovascular risk. C. Confirming that a high HDL level is beneficial for reducing cardiac risk is important, as it reflects a protective factor against heart disease. D. While asking about hereditary cardiac risk factors is relevant in a comprehensive assessment, it is not immediately necessary in response to a high HDL level.
