a) Potential risks during surgery: This option is incorrect because Mr. Evans does not ask about the risks during the surgery itself but after the surgery. His focus is on the pain after the surgery. b) How post-operative pain will be controlled: This is the correct answer. Mr. Evans explicitly asks about the severity of the pain and whether the medication will be sufficient to control it. c) The type of anesthesia used: This option is incorrect because, although the surgeon mentions local anesthesia, Mr. Evans does not specifically ask about the type of anesthesia. His main concern is about pain management.
