Question 5 of 5
A patient with osteopenia asks a nurse about the benefits of hormone therapy in preventing osteoporosis. Which statement by the nurse is correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hormone therapy (HT) can help prevent further bone loss by reducing bone resorption, but it does not reverse existing bone loss or increase bone mass significantly. It can slightly decrease fracture risk during use, but this benefit is not permanent—bone loss resumes rapidly after discontinuation. Thus, option D is correct as it accurately reflects the transient nature of HT’s effects on bone mass.
