The school nurse receives phone calls from several parents reporting that their children have lice. All of the children are in the same classroom. The nurse's priority action is to:
1. Assess all of the children in the classroom, and send notes home with all children in the school advising parents to check their children for lice.
2. Send all of the children in that class home with notes asking parents to take them to their pediatrician.
3. Isolate the children in that classroom and keep them from the cafeteria, gymnasium, or anyplace where they will come in contact with others.
4. Require all students in the school to wear surgical caps until the outbreak of lice is contained.

Rationale: The nurse's first action is to assess children to determine presence of lice. Those children found to have lice will be sent home with letters directing the parents how to treat them. Notes may be sent to all parents informing them that several children have been found to have lice and instructing them to examine their child, and how to treat them should they find lice. There is no need to see the pediatrician, as parents can treat lice with over-the-counter medications.
