Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A diet high in carbohydrates and excess alcohol consumption can lead to an increase in triglycerides and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), as well as the development of glucose intolerance. This pattern fits with the dyslipidemia seen in Choice A. Elevated chylomicrons (Choice B) are usually the result of a genetic disorder or an issue in fat metabolism, rather than lifestyle factors. Choice C is an extreme version of dyslipidemia and would not be expected in this scenario. Choice D only accounts for the LDL and total cholesterol levels and does not address the other abnormalities seen in this client's behavior and findings.
