Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. A pustule is a small elevation of the skin that contains pus, typically smaller than 0.5 cm.

B. A macule is a flat, discolored area of skin that is less than 0.5 cm in diameter, so it does not fit the description of elevated lesions larger than 0.5 cm.

C. A papule is an elevated, solid lesion that is less than 0.5 cm in diameter; lesions larger than this would not be classified as papules.

D. A patch is defined as a flat, non-palpable lesion larger than 0.5 cm, and psoriasis can present as patches. Thus, the lesions described fit this classification.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. A BMI of 26 is not classified as obese; obesity typically starts at a BMI of 30.

B. Underweight is defined as a BMI less than 18.5, which does not apply to this client.

C. A BMI of 26 falls within the overweight category, which is defined as a BMI between 25 and 29.9.
