Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DMinocycline, an antibiotic often used for acne, can cause pseudotumor cerebri (increased pressure in the skull mimicking a brain tumor) as a side effect, which presents with headaches. Therefore, evaluating her for pseudotumor cerebri (C) is crucial. Assessing lifestyle factors such as caffeine intake and sleep patterns (D) is also important, as these can contribute to headaches and should be part of a comprehensive assessment.
