Having heard positive reports of the benefits of HT from her sister-in-law and friends,
a 49-year-old woman has presented to her nurse practitioner asking to start HT. Her
uterus is intact and previous bone scans have indicated low bone density. The patient
also has a family history of heart disease. She characterizes her symptoms of
menopause as "noticeable, but not debilitating by any means." Based on the most
current research, what is her nurse practitioner's best course of action?
Question options:
Begin low-dose HT but perform regular breast cancer screening and heart health
checks
Forgo HT but consider alternative therapies and reevaluate if her symptoms
significantly affect her quality of life
Forgo HT in light of her preexisting low bone density and consequent risk of
osteoporosis
Begin estrogen-progesterone HT (EPT) to prevent future menopausal symptoms and
coronary heart disease (CHD)
