Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 18
A woman who has migraine with aura:
A. Should not be prescribed estrogen due to the interaction between triptans and estrogen, limiting
migraine therapy choices
B. Should not be prescribed estrogen due to an increased incidence of migraines with the use of estrogen
C. Should not be prescribed estrogen due to an increased risk of stroke occurring with estrogen use
D. May be prescribed estrogen without any concerns
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Should not be prescribed estrogen due to an increased risk of stroke occurring with estrogen use
RATIONALE
Estrogen use in women with migraine with aura is contraindicated due to its association with an elevated risk of
thromboembolic events, including stroke, which is exacerbated by the presence of auras. This connection emphasizes
the need for careful consideration of hormonal therapies in this population to mitigate serious complications.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 18

B. Black women are at risk of developing osteoporosis due to their lower calcium intake as a group.
C. If she doesn't drink alcohol, her risk of developing osteoporosis is low.

misconception that skin pigmentation offers protection against this condition. Proper education on dietary needs and
lifestyle factors is crucial for mitigating osteoporosis risk.
