A postmenopausal client learns that her level of good cholesterol is decreasing and the level of bad cholesterol is rising. How should the nurse explain this physiologic mechanism to the client?
 
  1. At menopause, your body quits producing progesterone, which keeps your cholesterol level low.
  2. Menopause weakens the blood vessels and allows the bad cholesterol to become more prominent.
  3. During menopause, the estrogen level decreases dramatically. Estrogen helps to keep the good' cholesterol high and the bad' cholesterol low, and also helps to protect the heart.
  4. Because cholesterol problems are all hereditary, your bad' cholesterol levels are probably rising in the same manner as your family members' did.
