Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
An over-the-counter pediculicide, permethrin 1 (Nix, Elimite, Acticin), kills head lice and eggs with one application and has residual activity (i.e., it stays in the hair after treatment) for 10 days. Nix Creme Rinse is applied to the hair after it is washed with a conditioner-free shampoo. The product should be rinsed out after 10 minutes. The hair should not be shampooed for 24 hours after the treatment. Even though the kill rate is high and there is residual action, retreatment should occur after 7 to 10 days. Combs and brushes should be boiled or soaked in antilice shampoo or hot water greater than 60 C (140 F) for at least 10 minutes. Advise parents to wash clothing (especially hats and jackets), bedding, and linens in hot water and dry at a hot dryer setting.

Answer to Question 2

A
Children with an easy temperament are even tempered, predictable, and regular in their habits. They react positively to new stimuli. A high activity level and adapting slowly to new stimuli are characteristics of a difficult temperament. The slow-to-warm-up temperament type prefers to be inactive and moody. Shyness is a personality type and not a characteristic of temperament. Being moody is a characteristic of a slow-to-warm up temperament.
