Answer to Question 1

D
Benefits of HT for patients with osteopenia are not permanent; bone loss resumes when HT is discontinued. HT does not reverse bone loss that has already occurred. HT reduces bone resorp-tion. HT can decrease fracture risk by a small amount.

Answer to Question 2

A
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) can be treated with nondrug measures, including avoiding fatty and spicy foods. Consuming extra fluids does not help with nausea and vomiting (N/V) but may be needed to prevent dehydration. Patients should be advised to eat small portions of food throughout the day rather than three complete meals. Morning sickness may actually occur all day, so delaying intake is not recommended.
