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.

The_ is the layer of living skin and is composed of all major tissue types?
expeople1 [14]
<span>The dermis or corium is a layer of skin between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissues, that primarily consists of dense irregular connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. It is divided into two layers, the superficial area adjacent to the epidermis called the papillary region and a deep thicker area known as the reticular dermis. The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis through a basement membrane. Structural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix. It also contains mechanoreceptors that provide the sense of touch and thermoreceptors that provide the sense of heat. In addition, hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels are present in the dermis. Those blood vessels provide nourishment and waste removal for both dermal and epidermal cells.</span>
