Question

the health care provider explains to the patient a lymphadenectomy is the
multiple choice
removal of a lymph node.
incision into a lymph node.
biopsy of the spleen.
repair of a lymph node.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the medical term "lymphadenectomy". The suffix "-ectomy" means surgical removal. So, lymphadenectomy refers to the removal of a lymph node. The other options are incorrect: "incision into a lymph node" would be lymphadenotomy (suffix "-otomy" means incision), "biopsy of the spleen" is unrelated to lymph nodes, and "repair of a lymph node" would be lymphadenoplasty (suffix "-plasty" means repair).

Answer:

A. removal of a lymph node.
