Question 1 of 5

The client is admitted to the outpatient surgery center for removal of a malignant melanoma. Which assessment data indicate the lesion is a malignant melanoma?

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is obtaining a preoperative health history on the client scheduled for revision of facial scars. Which client comment indicates an increased risk for a poor cosmetic outcome?
