Practice Question

A nurse is teaching a class about dietary guidelines to promote cardiovascular health. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include in the teaching?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Increase intake of whole grains.

Rationale:

🥗Whole grains are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that help lower cholesterol levels and support overall cardiovascular function.

👩‍⚕️Nurses should educate clients that whole grains like oats, brown rice, and whole wheat help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and improve heart health.

🩺Unlike refined grains, whole grains maintain the bran and germ, which are vital for maintaining vascular integrity and lowering blood pressure.

📌Core Message

Whole grains lower LDL cholesterol, support vascular health, and help prevent cardiovascular disease when included in a balanced diet.
