Hello dear Greetings
Concerning the man's presentation of restless cold clammy skin slurred speech confusion reduced pulse rate tender abdomen after a liver biopsy I will strongly suggest he has developed a hemorrhagic shock possible from bleeding episode from the biopsy

This is definitely an emergency condition that requires immediate care at the Emergency room attended by an emergency physician so I will advise you do so immediately to prevent any mortality

Just a few suggestions he will definitely benefit from a surgical interventional procedure

I hope this helps Regards
