The correct answer is; risk for infection.

Explanation:

The nurse's priority will be to check the patient for any type of infection after this procedure. Since the patient is taking medication and having an invasive procedure there needs to be extra steps taken to be sure there is no infection in the wound area, no matter the size.

Since the medicine can weaken the immune system, the patient is at a higher risk of getting an infection from the wound or even from the hospital where the procedure was performed. The nurse will check for redness, swelling, tenderness, and any drainage of the wound.
