Rationale: A. While mayonnaise is sometimes suggested as a home remedy, it is not an evidence-based treatment for head lice. B. It is not necessary to discard stuffed animals; they can be sealed in plastic bags for 2 weeks to kill lice. C. Household pets do not carry head lice and do not require treatment. D. Permethrin 1% lotion is the standard, effective, and safe over-the-counter treatment for pediculosis capitis recommended by health authorities.
