NR 508 Week 1 Quiz


Question 1. Osteopenia is diagnosed in a 55-year-old woman who has not had

a period in 15 months. She has a positive family history of breast

cancer. The primary care NP should recommend:


testosterone therapy.


estrogen-only therapy.


nonhormonal drugs for osteoporosis.


estrogen-progesterone therapy for 1 to 2 years.

Explanation: Although estrogen slows the progression of osteoporosis, it also increases

the risk of breast cancer when initiated early in menopause. This woman

should receive a nonhormonal treatment for osteoporosis and may receive

HT in 5 years if menopausal symptoms persist. Testosterone therapy,

estrogen-only therapy, and estrogen-progesterone therapy are not indicated.




Question 2. A patient takes a cardiac medication that has a very narrow

therapeutic range. The primary care NP learns that the particular

, brand the patient is taking is no longer covered by the patient’s

medical plan. The NP knows that the bioavailability of the drug

varies from brand to brand. The NP should:


contact the insurance provider to explain why this particular

formulation is necessary.


change the patient’s medication to a different drug class that

doesn’t have these bioavailability variations.


accept the situation and monitor the patient closely for drug

effects with each prescription refill.


ask the pharmaceutical company that makes the drug for

samples so that the patient does not incur out-of-pocket expense.

Explanation: In this case, the NP should advocate for the desired drug because

changing the drug can have life-threatening consequences. If this fails,

other options may have to be explored.




Question 3. A patient brings written information about a medication to a

primary care NP about a new drug called Prism and wants to know
