5. What is a negative effect of immobility on the cardiovascular system?

A. Increased high density lipoprotein

Rationale: Venous stasis is a negative effect of immobility on the cardiovascular system.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because immobility does not lead to an increase in high density lipoprotein, circulation, or the pumping action of the heart.
