Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Lice are mostly found in white, middle-class children as a result of the oval shape of the hair shaft. Prevalence of head lice in U.S. schools ranges from 10 to 40, being found most com-monly in school-aged children, typically in late summer and autumn. Lice are more often seen in clean hair. The suggestion that lice are associated with unclean homes in poverty areas is incor-rect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A current drug reference should always be available so it can be consulted for information. All medications should be kept in a locked cabinet. Medications should be in the original container and have the original prescription label on it. The nurse is responsible for giving the medication and is expected by state law to know its action, side effects, and implications.
