While completing an admission assessment for a client with gastrointestinal bleeding, the nurse inspects the perianal area and anus. Which findings indicate a normal appearance of the anus?

A. Increased pigmentation and coarse skin. This is a typical finding in the perianal area, reflecting normal anatomical variation. B. Flap of tissue at sphincter.This may indicate the presence of a skin tag or hemorrhoid, which is not considered a normal finding. C. Hypotonic tone of the anal sphincter. This suggests decreased muscle tone, which can be abnormal and may indicate underlying pathology. D. Dimpled area above anus. A dimpled area could indicate a pilonidal sinus or other abnormality, which is not normal.
