CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING

Multiple Choice

1. a. angina pectoris.
Rationale: Angina pectoris is a condition that is caused by coronary heart disease when there is an impairment of blood flow. Blood
and oxygen are deficient because of the constriction in the artery. Such a condition is known as ischemia. The patient feels
heaviness and discomfort in the chest region.

2. c. saturated fats.
Rationale: Saturated fats are the dietary lipids that have a damaging effect on the body. These fats elevate the concentration of low-
density lipoproteins (LDL] cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is considered to be bad cholesterol that can cause cardiovascular
diseases.

3. d. results from bleeding within the brain, which damages brain tissue.
Rationale: In hemorrhagic stroke, there is bleeding inside the brain. This can be because of a leakage on rupturing of a blood vessel
associated with the brain. As a result, there is an accumulation of blood in the brain that can cause functional impairment. It
is the most fatal type of stroke in which there is a possibility of death within 30 days.

4. b. reducing total fat intake.

Rationale: Reducing total fat intake can affect the nutritional requirement of the body. It might indirectly reduce the saturated fats, but
might also affect the absorption of essential fats.

5. c. sodium restriction.
Rationale: Sodium restriction is a major priority. when it comes to nutrition therapy for a patient with heart failure. A lower or
moderate intake of sodium helps in reducing the retention of fluid in the body, so that blood pressure could be maintained..
