QuestionFind the client with the lowest cardiac risk by calculating total cholesterol divided by HDL. Client A: Total cholesterol 224 mg/dL, HDL 38 mg/dL.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the total cholesterol level and HD level for Client A. . The total cholesterol level for Client A is224 mg/d.
3. The HD level for Client A is38 mg/d.
4. We are to determine the cardiac risk by dividing the total cholesterol level by the HD level.

STEP 2

We need to calculate the cardiac risk for Client A. We can do this by dividing the total cholesterol level by the HD level.
$Cardiac\, risk = \frac{Total\, cholesterol\, level}{HDL\, level}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total cholesterol level and HD level to calculate the cardiac risk for Client A.
$Cardiac\, risk = \frac{224\, mg/d}{38\, mg/d}$

STEP 4

Calculate the cardiac risk for Client A.
$Cardiac\, risk = \frac{224\, mg/d}{38\, mg/d} =.89$ The cardiac risk for Client A is.89. The lower the cardiac risk, the lower the risk of heart disease. Therefore, Client A has a relatively low cardiac risk.
