a. "It may increase intraocular pressure after cataract surgery."
b. "It changes the ability of the blood to clot and increases the risk of bleeding."
c. "It reduces inflammation and might mask any symptoms of infection."
d. "It can cause nausea and vomiting and may increase intraocular pressure."
B
Aspirin disrupts platelet aggregation and increases the risk for bleeding after surgery. Aspirin may decrease inflammation but would not mask symptoms of infection. Aspirin does not cause increased intraocular pressure, nor does it typically cause nausea and vomiting. Aspirin should not mask signs of infection.
