NURS 684 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS WITH 100%
VERIFIED ANSWERS
T/F? It is advised that all women have bone density two years after menopause.
- FALSE ANSWER
The North American Menopause Society and the National Osteoporosis
Foundation (NOF) advise that bone mineral density, or BMD, be assessed in
All females 65 years of age and older, irrespective of clinical risk factors.
Regardless of age, postmenopausal women with medical reasons of bone loss
- postmenopausal women with extra risk factors who are 50 years of age or
older
Postmenopausal women who have suffered a fragility fracture or low trauma
Remember 65+ unless there's a good reason!
A 52-year-old woman has had mild hot flashes for six months and amenorrhea
for a year. She wants to know if bioidentical hormones are healthier than other
hormones and is interested in using them to treat her hot flashes. What would be
appropriate information to provide? A bioidentical type of estrogen, ANSWER
17 beta-estradiol comes in vaginal, transdermal, and oral forms.
People with hormonal imbalances can be treated with bioidentical hormones,
which are synthetic hormones. Menopausal and hormonal imbalance symptoms
can be lessened with the use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
(BHRT).
Regarding the estrogen agonist/antagonist raloxifine (Evista), which of the
following assertions is true? ANSWER: It is authorized for osteoporosis
treatment and prevention.
, Raloxifene belongs to the group of drugs known as selective estrogen receptor
modulators, or SERMs. By imitating the actions of estrogen, a female hormone
that the body produces, raloxifene prevents and cures osteoporosis by increasing
the density (thickness) of bone. One important factor in appropriate bone
remodelling is the suppression of bone resorption by estrogen.
T/F? Progesterone creams administered topically have been shown to protect
the endometrium in menopausal women receiving estrogen. - FALSE
ANSWER
The assertion is untrue; there is currently insufficient evidence to support the
use of topically applied progesterone creams as the only means of protecting the
endometrium in menopausal women taking estrogen because of the limited
absorption through the skin, which does not reach blood levels high enough to
provide adequate endometrial protection.
Proper progesterone levels are required to maintain a healthy endometrium. It is
good to know that progesterone plays a crucial role in endometrial protection by
counteracting the proliferative effects of estrogen, which essentially prevents
the uterine lining from growing too thick and reduces the risk of endometrial
hyperplasia and cancer. This is especially true when progesterone is
administered alongside estrogen therapy in postmenopausal women with an
intact uterus.
What would NOT be anticipated from a pelvic examination of a lady in her
seventies? ANSWER The ovaries are palpable.
A menopausal lady who is having trouble having sex because of dry vaginal
tissue wants to know if she should use a vaginal moisturizer or lubricant. What
assertion wouldn't be true?
a. The purpose of lubricants is to lessen friction between sexes.
b. It may take a few weeks for lubricants to start working.
c. Compared to lubricants, moisturizers offer longer-lasting relief from vaginal
dryness.
d. ANSWER B: Moisturizers are usually applied multiple times each week. is
untrue; lubricants take effect right away.
