For women with a uterus, how should estrogen therapy be administered?

Alone
With a form of progesterone
With calcium supplements
With vitamin D supplements

The correct answer is: With a form of progesterone

The best way for women with a uterus to receive estrogen therapy is by also taking a form of progesterone. This is because estrogen alone can increase the risk of uterine cancer, so progesterone helps counteract this potential side effect. Taking calcium and vitamin D supplements are not related to how estrogen therapy should be administered, so options C and D are incorrect. Additionally, taking estrogen alone (option A) is not recommended as it can increase the risk of certain health issues.
