recovering from a wrist fracture after a fall. Dual energy x-ray
absorptiometry of the hip had shown her to have osteoporosis. She
became menopausal at age 50 and did not begin hormone replacement
therapy because of a strong family history of breast cancer. She
now fears a future hip fracture and would like to begin a bone
loss prevention regime.Which of the following pharmaceutical
agents is most appropriate for this patient?
A. Calcitonin nasal spray
B. Oral conjugated estrogen
C. Raloxifene
D. Tamoxifen
E. Transdermal estradiol
