lo 2.6. how do you assess for melanoma?
contour, surface, tone, thickness, size
shape, texture, location, size, depth
symmetry, texture, shade, length, width
outline, roughness, pigment, circumference, altitude
asymmetry, border, color, diameter, elevation

Explanation:

The ABCDEs of melanoma assessment are Asymmetry (one - half does not match the other), Border (irregular, scalloped or poorly defined), Color (variegated with shades of tan, brown, black, red, white or blue), Diameter (usually larger than 6mm), and Evolution (changes over time). The option with Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, and Elevation (which can be part of evolution and overall assessment) is the correct one for melanoma assessment.

Answer:

E. Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Elevation
