Question 16 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Which is an example of hormone replacement therapy?

Answer
A
a doctor prescribes a corticosteroid drug for inflammation
B
a person with type 1 diabetes regularly injects insulin
C
a patient with type 2 diabetes takes an antidiabetic drug
D
a doctor prescribes a drug that causes the kidneys to not retain water

Explanation

Hormone replacement therapy supplies a hormone the body does not make in sufficient amounts. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas produces little or no insulin, so regularly injecting insulin replaces that missing hormone. Corticosteroids treat inflammation, and the other choices do not describe replacing a hormone.
