Reduction of Risk PotentialQuestion 1325 of 2368

A client with chronic amenorrhea has low estrogen. For which long-term complication should the nurse anticipate monitoring?

  1. Renal calculi from calcium loss
  2. Osteoporosis from bone loss
  3. Hypertension from fluid retention
  4. Endometrial polyps from excess estrogen
Show answer

Correct answer: Osteoporosis from bone loss

Estrogen deficiency causes bone loss, so chronic amenorrhea may require bone density monitoring and calcium and vitamin D.
