1. (37) my answer is C because pt has familiar risk of CAD and by exclusion.
A,- can not be because step 2 diet is followed by step 1 diet on high risk pts. there goal is maintain chol level less than 300 in step 1 diet and less than 200 in step 2 diet.

B. can not be because after obtaining chol more than 240 we should do fasting lipid study such as LDL, HDL ...
D and E are not because there are no indication to begin tratment without having LDL value.
2. (44) C
pt has no risk, PE is normal , lab value are normal. we should just follow him. No treatment.

44.C
If total cholesterol is 200 mg/dL or more, or your HDL cholesterol is less than 40 mg/dL (for men) and less than 50 mg/dL (for women), you need to have a lipoprotein profile done to determine your LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

37. Treatment for Lipids are predominantly based on LDL, so we need to do a fasting Lipid panel FIRST before we decide if he needs diet and exercise modification only or a Statin. (B)
