    When assessing a client's skin, the nurse finds acne. How would the nurse document the lesions?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Scale refers to flakes of dead skin cells and is not typically used to describe acne lesions. B. Pustules are small, inflamed, pus-filled lesions, which are characteristic of acne. C. A macule is a flat, discolored spot on the skin and does not apply to the raised, pus-filled lesions seen in acne. D. A papule is a small, solid, raised lesion, but it is not filled with pus like a pustule. Acne lesions are often described as pustules when they contain pus.
