Question 1 of 5
The nurse is counseling a new client who identifies as a transgender female and is expressing the desire to start estrogen therapy for their transition. What potential complication will the nurse include in the client teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: While hormone therapy can have various effects on the body, impaired nutrition is not a common complication associated with estrogen therapy for transgender women. Nutrition-related issues would more likely arise from other factors unrelated to hormone treatment. Estrogen therapy can increase the risk of thrombosis (blood clots). This is a significant potential complication that must be discussed with clients considering estrogen therapy. Blood clots can lead to serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and stroke. Increased risk of bleeding is not a typical complication of estrogen therapy. Hormone therapy for transgender women generally does not affect the body's ability to clot blood in a way that would cause increased bleeding. Constipation is not a common complication of estrogen therapy. Gastrointestinal side effects are generally not a major concern with hormone therapy for transgender women.
