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
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.
