The nurse is preparing a teaching plan for a client who is being discharged after being admitted for chest pain. The client has had one previous myocardial infarction 2 years ago and has been taking simvastatin 40 mg for the last 2 years. After reviewing the lab results for the client's cholesterol levels (see chart below), the nurse should:
1. Ask if the client is taking the simvastatin regularly.
2. Tell the client that the cholesterol levels are within normal limits.
3. Instruct the client to lower the saturated fat in the diet.
4. Review the chart for lab reports of hemoglobin and hematocrit.
