  1. Tachypnea and an ashy color
   2. Tachycardia, pale in color, and apnea
   3. Bradycardia and apnea
   4. Ruddy color and tachycardia

Question 2

An outbreak of head lice has occurred on the high school softball team. The school nurse has given handouts about therapy to kill the nits. One mother asks what the best way of going through her child's hair would be.
 
  The best response from the nurse would be: 1. Wash her hair with pediculicide shampoo and towel dry. This is a one-time treatment..
   2. Use a fine-toothed comb to remove the nits when the hair is dry..
   3. Make sure to wash all bedding with hot, soapy water and dry on the hot cycle after each night. This reduces the nits in her bedding..
   4. Wash her hair and towel dry, then apply the RID and rinse after 10 minutes. Repeat this several times throughout the day.

1. The treatment may need to occur more than one time.
2. Even after removal, the nits may be present on other objects that the teen possesses.
3. Washing everything in hot water will help kill the nits.
4. The RID will help kill the nits, but the parent needs to clean all of the bedding because nits can live on bedding and re-infest the teen.
