The American Heart Association is a private organization dedicated to providing reliable health information related to heart disease and stroke. The other options are all government-run organizations, which may still provide reliable information but may also have political agendas or biases. Therefore, the nurse should recommend the American Heart Association as the most reliable source of information from a private source.
