Answer to Question 1

A, C
Use medicated shampoo available as a crme rinse for eliminating lice, or permethrin (Nix). Caution against the use of products containing lindane, because this ingredient is toxic and is known to cause adverse reactions. Remove the patient's clothing before treatment, and apply new clothing after treatment. Repeat treatment according to product directions. Check the hair for nits, and comb with a nit comb for 2 to 3 days until you are sure all lice and nits have been removed. Manual removal of lice is the best option when treatment has failed. Vacuum infested areas of the home. Wash linens in hot water, and dry for at least 30 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

C
Pour liquid medication into a medication cup with the cup on a flat surface at eye level, so you can accurately see the desired amount. The amount of poured liquid should be even with the base of the meniscus. Pour liquid medications away from a label to ensure that liquid will not run down a label, making it difficult to read. Draw liquid medication into a syringe (without a needle) slowly, to prevent air bubbles from entering the syringe. Air displaces medications, which leads to inaccurate measurement of doses.
