The nurse knows that when combined continuous estrogen-progesterone therapy (CCEPT) is prescribed, the drug is considered effective if which of the following occurs?
A)
More regular periods for women with irregular menses
B)
Inhibited endometrial development resulting in no menses
C)
Relaxation of the myometrium, thereby limited painful cramps
D)
Shedding of the endometrial build-up on a more regular basis
Ans:
B
Feedback:
Thus, continuous exposure to progesterone inhibits endometrial development. Eventually, the combined continuous estrogen-progesterone therapy (CCEPT) results in no bleeding. It can be associated with irregular bleeding and spotting until the lining becomes atrophic. It relieves cramps rather than generating them.
