Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients who are at the greatest risk for aspiration pneumonitis as an adverse effect of anesthesia are those with GERD, obesity, diabetes, peptic ulcer disease, stress or pain, or trauma, as well as older adults, children, pregnant women, ambulatory surgery patients, and those premedicated with an opioid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Reye's syndrome is a rare but serious disorder that carries a mortality rate of 20 to 30. Reye's syndrome is often the sequela of varicella and other viral infections. Salicylates may precipitate or worsen this disorder, but there is no unequivocal proof at this time that aspirin is a major factor.
