MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which lipoprotein contributes to the development of atherosclerosis?
a. Chylomicrons
b. Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)
c. Low-density lipoprotein chylomicron (LDL C)
d. High-density lipoprotein chylomicron (HDL C)
ANS: C
The probability that atherosclerosis will develop is related directly to the concentration of
LDL C. Chylomicrons are intermediate-density lipoproteins. VLDLs are not as important
in the development of atherosclerosis as low-density lipoproteins. HDLs do not contribute
to the development of atherosclerosis.
2. The nurse is preparing medications for a patient. When is the best time for the nurse to
administer lovastatin (Mevacor)?
a. 2 hours after breakfast
b. During the patient’s dinner
c. 1 hour before breakfast
d. 30 minutes before lunch
ANS: B
Lovastatin should be administered with food to enhance absorption, and in the evening,
because this is when the production of cholesterol is at its highest. It is not recommended
that lovastatin be taken after food but while eating to enhance absorption. Taking the
medication a half hour or an hour before eating would not benefit the patient or enhance
absorption.
3. The nurse has completed an admitting patient history and notes the patient’s current
medications to be simvastatin (Zocor) and warfarin (Coumadin). What is the result of the
interaction of these drugs?
a. Abdominal distention
b. Increased INR
c. Low serum level of simvastatin
d. Hypertension
ANS: B
