    A biopsy is a medical test where a small tissue sample is removed and examined under a microscope to help diagnose problems. It can be used to examine lymph nodes, the thyroid gland, salivary glands, and other areas for conditions like cancer, infections, or inflammation. Potential risks include bleeding, infection, or damage to nearby tissues. Nurses monitor the patient's vital signs and biopsy site, provide pain management, ensure proper handling of specimens, and educate on post-procedure care like bandage changes and activity restrictions.
