What is advised to manage potential bone density loss with Depo-Provera injections?

Regular exercise and a diet high in fatty acids
Taking adequate calcium and vitamin D
Avoidance of sunlight and dairy products
Increased intake of vitamin C and iron

The correct answer is: Taking adequate calcium and vitamin D

To manage potential bone density loss with Depo-Provera injections, it is advisable to take adequate calcium and vitamin D. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for maintaining bone health and density. Depo-Provera injections have been associated with a risk of decreased bone mineral density over time, so ensuring sufficient calcium and vitamin D intake can help mitigate this side effect and support bone health. Regular exercise is also recommended as it can help in maintaining bone strength and density. Avoiding sunlight and dairy products (which are sources of vitamin D and calcium) as well as increasing intake of vitamin C and iron are not relevant or beneficial for managing bone density loss associated with Depo-Provera injections.
