4. Normal findings

“Normal/at-baseline” means there is no new concerning adenopathy, an at-risk limb is protected, and any lymphedema is stable under compression. Each line states the finding, the comparison to baseline, and the skilled reason a nurse was required — a bare “no swelling” does not qualify.

  • No new lymphadenopathy; any chronic node unchanged and without concerning features.
  • Limb girth stable and symmetric, or an affected limb unchanged from baseline under the current plan.
  • No lymphedema skin changes beyond a stable baseline, and no breakdown.
  • No lymphangitic streaking, warmth, or systemic signs.
  • The at-risk limb without new girth increase or skin break, with precautions observed.
  • Compression garment or bandage fitted, worn as ordered, and effective, with intact skin beneath.
  • Function preserved and the plan appropriate to continue.
