Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
Estrogen therapy is used in conjunction with diet, calcium, and physical therapy in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and to slow the disease progression in patients with advanced prostate cancer and certain types of breast cancer. Postmenopausal females would take estrogen to maintain hormonal balance. Women of childbearing age use estrogen to meet contraceptive needs. Women who use estrogen to treat acne are not postmenopausal. Estrogen therapy is used to reduce the frequency of hot flashes of menopausal (not postmenopausal) women.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The primary therapeutic outcomes expected from estrogen therapy include contraception, hormonal balance, prevention of osteoporosis, palliative treatment of prostate and breast cancer, and treatment of severe acne in females. Appetite suppression and prevention of heart disease are not expected therapeutic outcomes of estrogen therapy.
