A) "Seal the child's clothing in a plastic bag for at least 10 days."
B) "Be sure your child wears shoes at all times."
C) "Make sure the child washes his hands after using the bathroom."
D) "After applying this special cream, leave it on for about 8 to 10 hours."
Ans: C
The most effective measure to prevent pinworms or a recurrence is good hand hygiene, especially after using the bathroom and before eating. Sealing the child's clothing in a plastic bag is appropriate for pediculosis capitis. Having the child wear shoes at all times is helpful in preventing hookworm. Use of a cream that remains on for a specified time is associated with scabies.
