Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice would be conscious sedation, as it provides a moderate level of sedation and analgesia to help the client relax and feel comfortable during the procedure while remaining conscious and able to cooperate with instructions from the healthcare team. Local anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, and epidural anesthesia may not be appropriate for this type of procedure or may carry a higher risk of complications.
