A 44-year-old woman with social anxiety disorder is found to have an ovarian mass lesion. She is scheduled for exploratory laparoscopy. Her current medications include paroxetine. Important considerations for the treating anesthesiologist include screening for which of the following conditions?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Aspirin treats simple headaches (choice B) via COX inhibition, reducing prostaglandin-mediated pain. Bronchial asthma (choice A) may worsen with aspirin due to leukotriene shifts. Peptic ulcer (choice C) is contraindicated due to GI irritation. Viral infections in children (choice D) risk Reye's syndrome with aspirin. Headache relief is a standard use, reflecting its analgesic efficacy.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Aspirin provides analgesic/antipyretic (choice A), anti-inflammatory/anti-rheumatic (choice B), and anti-platelet effects (choice D) via COX inhibition. Uricosuric action (choice C) occurs at high doses (>4g/day), not small doses, where it retains uric acid, potentially worsening gout. This exception clarifies dose-dependent effects, critical for therapeutic precision.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Neurolept analgesia, from droperidol (antipsychotic) and fentanyl (opioid) (choice A), provides analgesia (choice D) and antiemetic effects (choice C) without full unconsciousness, unlike general anesthesia. Loss of consciousness (choice B) isn't typical; patients remain responsive. This exception defines its use in procedures needing sedation and pain control.
