A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a child who has pediculosis capitis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

A. It is not necessary to throw away stuffed animals. Instead, items that cannot be washed can be sealed in an airtight plastic bag for 14 days, which suffocates any surviving lice. Discarding them is unnecessary and creates avoidable expense. B. 1% permethrin (Nix) is the recommended first-line treatment for pediculosis capitis. It kills live lice and offers residual protection for several days. After treatment, the parent should also use a fine-toothed comb to remove nits from the hair shaft. C. Home remedies such as mayonnaise, petroleum jelly, or oils are not evidence-based and do not reliably kill lice or nits. They are not recommended by pediatric or public health guidelines. D. Head lice are human parasites and cannot survive on pets. Treating animals is unnecessary and has no effect on controlling or eliminating lice infestations.
