Question 1 of 5
A nurse provides teaching to a patient who has had a hysterectomy and is about to begin hormone therapy to manage menopausal symptoms. Which statement by the patient indicates understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For patients who have undergone a hysterectomy, progestin is unnecessary because the uterus has been removed, eliminating the risk of endometrial cancer associated with unopposed estrogen. However, estrogen-only therapy still carries risks, such as an increased chance of breast cancer and stroke, and does not protect against coronary heart disease. Therefore, the recommendation is to use the lowest effective dose of estrogen for the shortest duration necessary to manage symptoms, making option C the correct choice.
