Answer to Question 1

D
Postmenopausal women should consume 1200 mg of calcium and at least 1000 U of vitamin D each day. Bisphosphonate therapy should be considered for persons with known risk factors. Bone density testing is indicated for women with risk factors and then routinely after age 65 . Patients should be encouraged to engage in high-impact sports if possible to improve bone density.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cogentin is indicated to treat EPS side effects of medications such as metoclopramide. The patient should be monitored during the first 24 to 48 hours for any adverse reactions. Should EPS occur, treat with intramuscular diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 50 mg or benztropine (Cogentin) 1 to 2 mg
