Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bx is the correct abbreviation for biopsy, which involves the removal of tissue for evaluation. SLE stands for systemic lupus erythematosus, TBSA stands for total body surface area (used to calculate extent of burns), and BCC stands for basal cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer). However, none of these abbreviations are relevant to the procedure described in the question.
