Cholesterol homeostasis is essential to our overall health. What if you had to go to a health care provider because your cholesterol was too high? Have you ever been to a doctor\u2019s office and had a doctor or nurse communicate with you using large, \u201cscary\u201d words you did not understand? Similarly, have you ever had a mechanic speak to you about the inner workings of your car\u2019s engine using jargon you did not understand? The important issue is to return your cholesterol to normal levels and thus bring your body back into homeostasis, but what if you cannot understand what the provider is telling you?
You are a Physician\u2019s Assistant and you are set to meet with a patient to talk about his cholesterol panel. The patient, Mr. Brown, is a 56 year old male who leads a largely sedentary lifestyle. He has admitted, in a previous visit, that his favorite activity is sitting on the couch and eating snacks while watching sports. He has also expressed concerns that you would try to drastically change his lifestyle (which he does not want to do) if his tests came back high.<\/p>\n

The panel that came back on Mr. Brown contains the following results:
Test Result
Triglycerides 145 mg\/dL
Cholesterol 210 mg\/dL
HDL 33 mg\/dL
LDL 160 mg\/dL
Report the results to Mr. Brown \u2013 be sure to tell him his exact\u00b7 numbers. \u00b7

How would you alleviate any fears Mr. Brown may have regarding his condition? \u00b7
What recommendations would you make to Mr. Brown knowing his concerns?
What approach would you take to encourage him to make any necessary\u00b7 lifestyle changes?<\/h5>\n
