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

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A nodule is a solid, raised lesion that is typically larger than 1 cm in diameter and extends deeper into the skin. B. A papule is a small, raised, solid lesion, less than 1 cm, but not typically used for documenting freckles. C. A wheal is a raised, erythematous area, often a result of an allergic reaction, not a freckle. D. A macule is a flat, pigmented area of skin, less than 1 cm in diameter, which accurately describes freckles.
