Read the following excerpt from a health record:

Plan
Recommendation:
We need to perform an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogram. Given the less invasive nature, I recommended Ms. Mendel have an MR cholangiogram, which is scheduled for later this week. If the results confirm primary sclerosing cholangitis, we will begin medical treatment and then schedule a percutaneous hepatic biopsy.

Which of the following statements is NOT true, given this health record information?
a) the author of this health record recommends an ERCP.
b) the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram involves using an endoscope, an instrument to look inside.
c) if the results confirm the patient's bile ducts are inflamed and hardening, the patient will have a liver biopsy.
d) both the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram and the magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogram will give the health care professionals a map of the bile vessels (ducts) and pancreas.

Based on the information given, the statement that isn't true is that with the health record information provided, the author of this health record recommends an ERCP. ERCP is the procedure that is used in the diagnosis of diseases that has to do with the gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.

From the information given, the author stated that due to the less invasive nature, it will be recommended for Ms. Mendel to have an MR cholangiogram and this will provide the health care professionals a map of the bile vessels and the pancreas.

In a scenario whereby the results confirm that the patient's bile ducts are inflamed, then the patient will have a liver biopsy.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
