A community health nurse is educating a group of young adults about preventing cardiovascular disease. Which factor would be most appropriate to focus on as a modifiable risk?
Family history of cardiovascular disease
Low water intake
Age of the client
High intake of saturated fats
The correct answer focuses on a modifiable risk factor, something the client can change through lifestyle or behavioral adjustments. High intake of saturated fats is directly linked to cardiovascular disease risk. Addressing this through nutritional education can have a significant impact on prevention. Although family history and age are relevant factors, they are not modifiable—these cannot be changed by clients. While low water intake may influence health in other ways, such as hydration or kidney function, it does not directly impact cardiovascular risk in the same evidence-based manner as saturated fat consumption.
