A nurse identifies lice during a child's scalp assessment. The nurse teaches the parents about hair care. Which information from the parents indicates the nurse needs to follow up?
a. We will use lindane-based shampoos.
b. We will use the sink to wash hair.
c. We will use a fine-toothed comb.
d. We will use a vinegar hair rinse.
ANS: A
Products containing lindane, a toxic ingredient, often cause adverse reactions; the nurse will need to follow up to correct the misconception. All the rest are correct. Instruct parents who have children with head lice to shampoo thoroughly with pediculicide (shampoo available at drugstores) in cold water at a basin or sink, comb thoroughly with a fine-toothed comb, and discard the comb. A dilute solution of vinegar and water helps loosen nits.
