The nurse is educating adolescent high school students about when to seek medical attention regarding suspected cancerous skin lesions. Which of the following are included in the nurse's teaching? The lesion has:

A.

An irregular border.

B.

Asymmetrical shape.

C.

Been increasing in size.

D.

A diameter of less than 4 mm.

E.

Ecchymosis.

Question Solution

Correct Answer : A,B,C

A. An irregular border is a key characteristic of potentially cancerous skin lesions, particularly melanoma. Melanomas often have uneven, poorly defined edges.  

 

B. Asymmetry is another sign of melanoma. If one half of a lesion does not match the other in shape or size, it should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.  

 

C. Any lesion that has been increasing in size, particularly over a short period, is a concern and should be checked. Rapid growth can be a sign of malignancy.  

 

D. A lesion with a diameter of less than 4 mm is generally less concerning, as most cancerous lesions are larger. However, the other factors (such as asymmetry and border irregularity) are more significant for diagnosis.  

 

E. Ecchymosis (bruising) is not typically associated with cancerous skin lesions. Skin cancers like melanoma present as new or changing moles, not bruising.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. 1500: This is incorrect

B. The calculation is as follows:

Remaining fluid: 600 mL
IV rate: 100 mL/hour

Time to empty the bag: 600 mL ÷ 100 mL/hour = 6 hours

Adding 6 hours to the report time:
0700 + 0600 = 1300

The correct answer is 1300.

C. 1400: This is incorrect

D. 1500: This is incorrect

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The absence of bowel sounds shortly after surgery is a common finding and does not necessarily indicate a complication at this time; it is expected during the initial postoperative period.

B. An SPO2 of 90% while the client is asleep is concerning, but it does not take precedence over signs of possible surgical complications that could require immediate intervention.

C. Increasing abdominal distention is a critical sign that could indicate serious complications such as an anastomotic leak, bowel obstruction, or intra-abdominal bleeding, and it requires immediate notification of the surgeon for further evaluation and potential intervention.

D. A small amount of green-tinged fluid from the nasogastric tube is typical postoperatively and does not necessitate immediate notification to the surgeon unless the volume is excessive or other concerning signs are present.
