A patient who has recently started therapy on a statin drug asks a nurse, How long will it take until I see an effect on my serum cholesterol? Select the nurse's best response.

  2. Reductions are usually seen within 2 weeks.
  3. Blood levels normalize immediately when the drug is initiated.
  4. Cholesterol will not change, although triglycerides will fall in the first week.
