The Correct ans is CCC:
Clue here is "medical history showed use of estrogen without progesterone for control of post-menopausal symptoms". to help prevent the adverse effects of HRT (ie. endometrial cancer), estrogen should be given with progesterone, but this is not needed in pts with a history of hysterectomy.
