Answer:
a. "I am taking a new medicine for high blood pressure."
Explanation:
A biopsy is an examination done on living material taken from the patient's body and analyzed in the laboratory. It is often used to identify cell and tissue changes, complementing imaging and biochemical tests. This procedure is performed by applying an anesthetic compound to the patient. In the case of the patient exposed to the question, lidocaine with epinephrine was prescribed, however, the patient reports that he is taking a medication for high blood pressure, so the nurse should question the prescription given by the doctor for whether the injection of lidocaine with epinephrine will not react badly with the high blood pressure medication.
