Question 5 of 5
A nurse provides teaching to a group of nursing students about the risks and benefits of hormone therapy (HT), including estrogen therapy (ET) and combination estrogen/progestin therapy (EPT). Which statement by a student indicates understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Estrogen therapy (ET) is primarily beneficial for suppressing menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and preventing bone loss (not reversing osteoporosis). It does not protect against coronary heart disease—studies show increased risks of stroke and breast cancer—and EPT (estrogen/progestin) is not safer, especially as progestin increases breast cancer risk. Option D correctly identifies the main benefits of ET, aligning with evidence-based teaching.
