Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The abdomen is the preferred site. The posterior thigh, waistline, and breast are not the preferred sites of application.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Estrogens for intravaginal administration are used for local effects, primarily to treat vulval and vaginal atrophy. Because these preparations bypass the liver, the total dose is reduced and there is a lower risk of systemic effects. Depo Provera is a progesterone and is not indicated. Transdermal estrogen is used to treat hot flushes. Low-dose estrogens still have systemic effects.
