Question 5 of 5

A 74-year-old woman states that many of her peers underwent hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in years past. The woman asks the nurse why her primary care provider has not yet proposed this treatment for her. What fact should underlie the nurse's response to the woman?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the main reason HRT is not recommended for all women is due to the increased risks of stroke and breast cancer associated with its use. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the primary concerns regarding HRT use. HRT can indeed cause mood disturbances and may have effects on bone health, but the main concerns regarding its use revolve around the risks of stroke and breast cancer.
