Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3

Rationale 1: Patients should comb the infested area after the hair has been dried.
Rationale 2: To ensure that drug therapy is effective, patients should inspect hair shafts daily for at least 1 week after treatment.
Rationale 3: Because nits can be present in bedding and other upholstery material, all material coming in close contact with the patient should be washed with hot water. Vacuum furniture or fabric that cannot be cleaned and seal children's toys in plastic bags for 2 weeks.

Rationale 5:The head should be retreated in7 days.
