The client with a scalp infection should be advised to shampoo her hair daily with a mild shampoo. For occasional use, the nurse will use dry shampoos, which are applied to the hair as a powder. Other options include aerosol spray or foam. Anti-lice shampoos or oil-based shampoos are not used for fear of aggravating the infection.
