A client who has had upper right quadrant pain for several months is now experiencing clay-colored stools. Laboratory results reveal elevated liver enzymes, and a needle biopsy of the liver is scheduled. Which education would the nurse include in the client’s teaching about the procedure? The procedure is painless because general anesthesia is used. Disfiguring scars are minimal because a small incision is made. Lying on the right side after the procedure is required because it will decrease the risk for hemorrhage. A light meal should be eaten 2 hours before the procedure because it stimulates gastrointestinal secretions.
