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)]

Rationale A. This is not appropriate because a high HDL level (85 mg/dL) is beneficial and does not typically necessitate medication therapy solely for raising HDL. B. This is reasonable to assess overall cardiovascular risk factors, including hereditary factors, which can influence the management and prevention of heart disease. C. It reinforces the positive impact of a high HDL level on reducing cardiovascular risk and provides the client with valuable information about their health status. D. While dietary advice is important, specifically targeting fatty foods may not be necessary if the client's HDL level is already high. General dietary recommendations for heart health are beneficial but should be tailored to individual needs.
