Effect of an Educational Nail Biopsy Video on Pre-operative Anxiety, Health Literacy, and Patient Satisfaction

Purpose

The investigators are interested in studying the effect of an animated video depicting a nail biopsy procedure on the anxiety, health literacy, and satisfaction of participants recommended to undergo a nail biopsy procedure. The investigators hypothesize that the animated video will reduce preoperative anxiety, increase health literacy, and increase patient satisfaction in relation to nail biopsy procedures.
