The nurse is teaching a client with elevated LDL cholesterol and decreased HDL cholesterol about str

The nurse is teaching a client with elevated LDL cholesterol and decreased HDL cholesterol about strategies to manage this disorder. The client asks the nurse why there is a difference in the direction of change in the goals for altering HDL versus LDL cholesterol. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
1. "It is most important to increase HDL cholesterol, and if we can reduce LDL cholesterol also, that might be of some help."
2. "We want to reduce HDL cholesterol and increase LDL cholesterol because these changes will protect you against atherosclerosis."
3. "We want to increase HDL cholesterol, which helps rid the body of excess cholesterol, and to decrease LDL cholesterol, which carries excess cholesterol to the body tissue to be stored."
4. "I think you have misunderstood what I have told you, since we want both values to be reduced."
