The nurse is reviewing the past medical history of a group of clients. Which client would the nurse suspect as having folic acid deficiency? The:

Choice A reason: This is not a correct statement. Meat and eggs mostly contain saturated fats, which are fats that have no double bonds between the carbon atoms. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and can raise the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is also known as the "bad" cholesterol because it can deposit on the walls of the arteries and cause atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing and hardening of the arteries. The client should limit the intake of saturated fats to less than 10% of the total calories per day.

Choice B reason: This is not a correct statement. Coconut oil is a saturated fat, which is a fat that has no double bonds between the carbon atoms. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and can raise the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is also known as the "bad" cholesterol because it can deposit on the walls of the arteries and cause atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing and hardening of the arteries. The client should avoid or limit the use of coconut oil and other sources of saturated fats.

Choice C reason: This is the correct statement. Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat, which is a fat that has one double bond between the carbon atoms. Monounsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and can lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is also known as the "bad" cholesterol because it can deposit on the walls of the arteries and cause atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing and hardening of the arteries. The client should use olive oil and other sources of monounsaturated fats instead of saturated fats.

Choice D reason: This is not a correct statement. Butter is high in saturated fats, which are fats that have no double bonds between the carbon atoms. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and can raise the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is also known as the "bad" cholesterol because it can deposit on the walls of the arteries and cause atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing and hardening of the arteries. The client should avoid or limit the intake of butter and other sources of saturated fats.

Choice A reason: Furosemide 40 mg PO daily is not the medication that the nurse should administer for chest pain. Furosemide is a diuretic that reduces fluid volume and lowers blood pressure, but it does not relieve anginal pain.

Choice B reason: Diltiazem 30 mg PO daily is not the medication that the nurse should administer for chest pain. Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes the blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, but it does not act quickly enough to relieve acute anginal pain.

Choice C reason: Metoprolol 25 mg PO bid is not the medication that the nurse should administer for chest pain. Metoprolol is a beta blocker that slows down the heart rate and lowers blood pressure, but it does not act quickly enough to relieve acute anginal pain.

Choice D reason: Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg SL PRN is the medication that the nurse should administer for chest pain. Nitroglycerin is a nitrate that dilates the coronary arteries and increases blood flow to the heart, thus relieving anginal pain. It is given sublingually (under the tongue) as needed for chest pain.
