Contraindications to NSAIDs include known drug allergy and conditions that place a patient at risk for bleeding, such as vitamin K deficiency, and peptic ulcer disease. Patients with documented aspirin allergy must not receive NSAIDs. Other common contraindications are those that apply to most drugs, including severe renal or hepatic disease. The other options are not contraindications.
