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.

slega [8]

The nurse will assess for inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation while responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm.

  • An alarm for excessive airway pressure indicates an issue with compliance or resistance.
  • To stop the alarm and make sure the patient receives the predetermined number of breaths from the ventilator, turn up the upper limit on the alarm parameter first.

An audible and/or visual alert will trigger if the pressure inside the breathing circuit falls below the Low Airway Pressure Alarm limit specified on the ventilator. Low pressure alerts can be caused by, among other things:

  • The patient's connection to the ventilator circuit breaks.
  • inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation
  • nasal cushions, prongs, or invasive non-masks that don't fit well
  • Circuit and tube connections that are loose
  • The ventilator cannot supply the patient with as much air as they need.
