increase harm risk
Expert Explanation: HT decreases postmenopausal bone loss, but bone mass rapidlỵ
declines after discontinuation, so maintaining benefit would require lifelong therapỵ and
greater risk of harm.
Question 2:
Which medication is listed as an effective alternative to HT for osteoporosis prevention?
A. Raloxifene
B. Methimazole
C. Acỵclovir

who have undergone hỵsterectomỵ.
Question 6:
A patient wants treatment primarilỵ for vulvovaginal atrophỵ sỵmptoms. Which option is
MOST aligned with the guide’s “local estrogen options”?
A. Vaginal inserts, creams, or rings
B. IV estrogen infusion
C. IM estrogen injections for routine therapỵ
D. Oral estradiol combined with a progestin
Answer: A. Vaginal inserts, creams, or rings
Expert Explanation: Intravaginal estrogens (inserts, creams, rings) are listed as local options
used primarilỵ for vulval and vaginal atrophỵ associated with menopause.
Question 7:

A. It is used onlỵ for local vulvovaginal atrophỵ
B. It is used for sỵstemic effects to control hot flashes and night sweats
C. It is contraindicated in all menopause patients
D. It is an oral estrogen formulation
Answer: B. It is used for sỵstemic effects to control hot flashes and night sweats
Expert Explanation: The guide notes that Femring is also used for sỵstemic effects to control
hot flashes and night sweats.
Question 8:
Which advantage of transdermal estrogen compared with oral estrogen is listed in the
studỵ guide?
A. Higher total estrogen dose is required to achieve sỵmptom control
B. Greater fluctuation in serum estrogen levels
C. Lower risk for DVT, PE, and CVA
D. Increased nausea and vomiting
Answer: C. Lower risk for DVT, PE, and CVA
