A patient (taking no medications affecting bleeding) is consented for an extraction. Which item is NOT necessary to include in the informed consent for this patient?

Correct answer: A. Bleeding related to anticoagulant/antiplatelet medication

• C. Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a recognized risk to disclose.
• D. Nerve injury is a relevant surgical risk depending on the site.
