In assessing a patient's major risk factors for heart disease, which would the nurse want to include when taking a history?

A. Smoking, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol: These are all well-established major risk factors for heart disease and should be included in the patient's history. B. Personality type, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking: While personality type may contribute to stress, the other factors listed are more directly linked to heart disease. C. Alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, stress, and high cholesterol: Alcohol consumption may be a risk factor, but smoking and hypertension are more significant. D. Family history, hypertension, stress, and age: While family history, age, and hypertension are important, this option misses key factors like obesity, smoking, and diabetes.
