A 51-year-old Black man is scheduled to undergo a colonoscopy. Which of the following is NOT a contraindication to the procedure?

Choice A reason: Hemodynamic instability is a contraindication because sedation or procedural stress could worsen cardiovascular compromise. Choice B reason: Active inflammation or severe colitis increases the risk of perforation and bleeding, making colonoscopy contraindicated. Choice C reason: Patient anxiety alone is not a medical contraindication. While sedation may be required, anxiety does not prevent safe performance of the procedure. Choice D reason: A recent myocardial infarction is a relative contraindication due to the risk of cardiac complications during sedation or procedure stress.
