Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Women should use hormone therapy at the lowest dose possible for a period of less than 5 years. It carries risks for breast cancer and cardiovascular disease and cannot be used indefinitely. Hormone therapy can help slow osteoporosis, but it does not prevent osteoporosis and is not recommended for this use.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Women should use contraception until menstruation has ceased for 1 year if they do not wish to become pregnant. Premature ovarian failure occurs when menstruation stops before age 40 years. It is not necessary to treat menopausal symptoms until they occur.
