pink or flesh colored, shiny/translucent, rolled border papule, can be ulcerated

37
Q

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

A

2nd most common skin cancer behind BCC

Risk Factors:

  • whites
  • 45-75 yrs old
  • high UV sun exposure

Can resemble aktinic keratosis- looks like a papule or plaque that can be smooth, hyperkeratotic, or ulcerative lesion. Most commonly on the neck and face

38
Q

Merkel Cell Carcinoma

A

Affects older adults with light skin

rapidly growing, painless, firm nodule

blue/reddish nodule on head and neck region

39
Q

Superficial Shave Biopsy

A

used for lesions of the epidermis and/or superficial dermis
-seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, skin tags, warts, basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma

NEVER FOR MELANOMA or pigmented lesion

40
Q

Deep Shave Biopsy

A

includes epidermis and some dermis

more often for basal cell and squamous cell biopsy

41
Q

Punch Biopsy

A

Better cosmetic result than shave

for lesions involving the dermis, can close with stitches

42
Q

Impetigo

A

“school sores”

Pain: itchy
Color: yellow pus-filled vesicles
Configuration: leaky pus/fluid
Location: mouth and face (child)

43
Q

Dermatitis

A

Pain: itchy
Color: pink to red
Configuration: rash-like
Location: moist area

44
Q

Eczema

A

Pain: itchy
Color: red, swollen
Configuration: weeping, crusting patches
Location: elbows and face

45
Q

Actinic Keratosis

A

Pain: none
Color: red, pink, light, dark, tan
Configuration: thick scales with crust

A

Pain: itchy
Color: red
Configuration: scaly patches and plaques

50
Q

What is the CAGE tool?

A

Used to assess potential problem with alcohol abuse

  1. Have you ever felt you needed to C-ut down on your drinking?
  2. Have people A-nnoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
  3. Have you ever felt G-uilty about drinking?
  4. Have you ever felt you needed a drink first thing in the morning (E-ye opener) to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?
51
Q

Suicide Screening Tool

A
  1. In the past few weeks, have you wished you were dead?
  2. In the past few weeks, have you felt that you or your family would be better off if you were dead?
  3. In the past week, have you been having thoughts about killing yourself?
  4. Have you ever tried to kill yourself?
    ___________________________________
  5. Are you having thoughts of killing yourself right now?

“Yes”to question #5 = acute positive screen (imminent risk identified). Patient requires a STAT safety/full mental health evaluation. Patient cannot leave until evaluated for safety

“No”to question #5 = non-acute positive screen(potential risk identified). Patient requires a brief suicide safety assessment to determine if a full mental health evaluation is needed. Patient cannot leave until evaluated for safety.

52
Q

PHQ-9 Tool

A
  1. Patient completes PHQ-9 Quick Depression Assessment
  2. If there are at least 4 checks in the shaded section (including Questions #1 and #2), consider a depressive disorder. Add score to determine severity.

Consider Major Depressive Disorder - if there are at least 5 checks in the shaded section (one of which corresponds to Question #1 or #2)

increased score = increased severity of depression
