Want to legally copyright my nursing notes I sell, but I include images from Adobe stock

Question

I sell digital nursing notes & I want to copyright my notes. Yet, I also include medical images from Adobe stock (I have a standard license). Am I able to legally copyright my work even with the Adobe stock images?
Plus, the images are NOT the primary asset and center of my notes. They're only for visual purposes. My information/words are the primary asset

You have the copyright of your work and you retain that copyright. Even if you modified the asset, you retain the copyright to your modifications, but the author of the original asset retains the copyright to his work, and you are bound to the licencing terms from Adobe stock. But your application is typical use of stock work.

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct, and the advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
