➤ How should the nurse document and communicate a suspicious skin lesion?
Measure and record the lesion’s exact size in millimeters, describe shape, border, color variation, location, and symptoms. Photograph with a scale when allowed. Use SBAR: Situation (lesion size >6 mm), Background (duration, changes), Assessment (observed features), Recommendation (dermoscopy/dermatology/biopsy). Clear communication speeds appropriate evaluation.
