==Answer==
Answer a. Poor oral intake is common in patients with chronic abdominal pain.
In addition, adolescents are commonly scheduled for afternoon endoscopy (due
to the need for infants to be earlier in the day). Finally, adolescents tend to be
more compliant with the prescribed bowel regimen prior to endoscopy. The
combination of these factors leads to a significant risk of hypovolemia (and thus
hypotension) at the time of induction.
