A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of a school-age child who has pediculosis capitis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse Include in the teaching?

A. "Seal non-washable items in a plastic bag for 2 days." Items should be sealed for 14 days, not 2 days, to ensure lice and nits die due to lack of air. B. "Soak hairbrushes in boiling water for 10 minutes." This is an effective way to kill lice and nits on combs and brushes. C. "Apply permethrin 1 percent cream rinse every day for 5 days." Permethrin should be applied once, and reapplication is recommended in 7 to 10 days if needed—not daily. D. "After washing bed linens, place them in a dryer on a cool setting for 30 minutes." Items should be dried on a high heat setting to kill lice and nits.
