    Which finding, obtained during a skin assessment, should the school nurse report to the healthcare provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A red, swollen, painful nodule may indicate an infection such as a boil or abscess, which requires medical attention. B. Multiple maculopapular pustules on the forehead and chin could suggest acne, a common condition in adolescents that typically does not require immediate medical intervention. C. Bilateral patellar abrasions with eschar formation are common in children and typically do not need to be reported unless they are infected. D. Small white flecks on the hair shafts are indicative of lice, which can be managed with proper treatment.
