The nurse suspects that an older adult patient has features of basal cell carcinoma appearing in form of a small dome-shaped lesion with a pearly surface on the face.

What is Basal cell carcinoma?

The most prevalent type of skin cancer that is not melanoma is basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

  • It is a tumour that causes localized damage and has a variety of clinical and histological characteristics.
  • When viewed at low power magnification, a basaloid epithelial tumour emerging from the epidermis is the primary characteristic of basal cell carcinoma.
  • Normally, the palisade-like basaloid epithelium forms a fissure from the surrounding tumour stroma.

The nuclei grow congested in the centre, with scattered mitotic figures and visible necrotic bodies.

The presence of a mucinous stroma serves as a helpful distinguishing factor from other basaloid cutaneous tumours. Additionally, some tumours may exhibit foci of regression, which are regions of eosinophilic stroma devoid of basaloid nests.

Hence, the answer is a small dome-shaped lesion with a pearly surface on the face.

Answer:

The answer is letter c, The structure of individual neurons.

Explanation:

Brain-imaging technique- <u><em>this comprises of different techniques for analyzing the brain's activities as well as structure, function and other problems.</em></u>

There are many brain-imaging techniques such as <u>Positron Emission Tomography or PET,</u> which traces the part of the brain that is activated during specific tasks as well as the localization of brain activity in response to a specific stimulus. These areas are seen with high radioactivity.

Patterns of blood flow in the brain can be detected by using <u>MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) test.</u> There is an increase in blood flow to areas in the brain with high activity level.

With the explanation given, it shows that letter c is the only choice that the brain-imaging techniques cannot determine.
