Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Risk factors for estrogen therapy include stroke, deep vein thrombosis, and ovarian cancer. A decreased risk of colon cancer is associated with EPT. EPT preserves bone mineral density.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
EPT can lower osteoporosis risk, improve glycemic control, and aid in wound healing. Preparations with estrogen alone can provide cardiovascular protection or help prevent colorectal cancer, but not preparations containing progestin.
