The nurse just noted from the medical record that the patient has a lesion that is confluent in nature. On examination, the nurse expects to find:

A. Confluent lesions merge into each other, forming a larger area of affected skin. B. Annular lesions are ring-shaped, not confluent, so this option does not match the description. C. This describes a linear arrangement, such as with shingles, not confluent lesions. D. Grouped or clustered lesions are not confluent but are typically close together, such as in herpes simplex infections.
