A patient with a basal skin cancer on his cheek is coming into the dermatologist’s office for Mohs surgery. He asks how long the procedure will take. The best response by the nurse would include which of the following?
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. “The procedure occurs in steps and time needed depends on your lesion.”
2. “The time depends on how deep the lesion is.”
3. “It is difficult to predict how long the procedure will take.”
4. “This is a long, complicated procedure and may take all day”
5. “The procedure should be completed in an hour or less.”

1,2,3 -- Mohs surgery involves shaving thin layers of the tumor off and frozen tissue analysis at each stage. The procedure proceeds in stages until the tumor is entirely removed. Depending on the depth of the lesion, it may take a short time or a long time. It is difficult to predict in advance. Options 4 and 5 are not accurate.
