Which of the following is NOT typically included in the review of physiologic health status preoperatively?

Medication history
Patient's age
Operative consent
Financial history

The correct answer is: Financial history

The review of physiologic health status preoperatively primarily focuses on factors that directly affect the patient's physical condition and ability to withstand surgery. Medication history is essential to identify any current medications that may impact anesthesia or surgical procedures. Knowing the patient's age is also important as it can influence the risk factors associated with surgery and recovery, affecting outcomes. Operative consent is a key component, ensuring that patients understand the procedure and its risks, which ties back to their overall health and willingness to proceed. In contrast, financial history is not typically included in the review of physiologic health status. While financial considerations are certainly relevant to healthcare planning and access, they do not directly relate to a patient's physiologic health or capability to undergo surgery. Thus, financial history is excluded from the standard preoperative assessment focused on the patient's medical and physiological readiness for surgery.
