In this case, the task is to discuss with the patient the anesthetic options given the patient’s specific concerns and agree upon an anesthetic plan. Included in this process is communicating to the patient the benefits and risks associated with each option, as well as concern for her safety. An action plan is then presented in a stepwise manner with mock responses and a discussion of the responses.
