The nurse is discussing hygiene issues with a group of mothers with young school-age children.
 
  When discussing the topic of head lice (pediculosis capitis), the nurse realizes that the most im-portant motivation for preventing and/or managing this condition is that:
  1. The lice may carry various other serious diseases
  2. The parasites are extremely difficult to remove and kill
  3. The presence of lice typically reflects poor hygiene practices
  4. The parasites are easily transferable from one person to another

Question 2

A client with darkly pigmented skin reports that the intravenous site is uncomfortable. To thoroughly assess the complaint of this particular client, the nurse should:
 
  1. Determine when the angiocatheter was inserted
  2. Ask the client if the area appears reddened
  3. Take an axillary temperature on the same side as the IV site
  4. Use the back of the hand to assess skin temperature at the site
