Try BLOOD MUSIC by Greg Bear, published as a novel in 1985 (expanded
from a short story in the June 1983 ANALOG, which is *almost* twenty
years ago. It's certainly the most prominent nanotech-related sf
novel of its time. While I've always meant to read it, I somehow
haven't, so don't know if the scene described is in it, but here's a
couple of sites which describe enough of the plot so that your client
should be able to decide if it's the one s/he remembers or not:

Could this be Asimov's Fantastic Voyage? A scientist suffers a brain injury as a result of an assassination attempt, and a submarine crewed by a medical team is miniaturized and injected into his body to repair the injury.
