Answer to Question 2

A
The patient's age and DVT history place her at risk for thrombosis. Tamoxifen would not be in-dicated for this patient.
A prior hysterectomy is not a contraindication to tamoxifen.
Osteoporosis is not a contraindication to tamoxifen.
Hyperlipidemia is not a contraindication to tamoxifen.
