Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15 is recommended. The sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 to 3 hours and after the child is in the water or sweating excessively. During a beach vacation, avoiding the beach during daytime hours is impractical. The highest risk of sun exposure is from 10 AM to 3 PM. Sunlight exposure should be limited during this time. An SPF of 30 is good, but reapplying it is necessary every 2 to 3 hours and when the child gets wet. Long pants and a shirt are impractical. The beach umbrella can be used with the sunscreen to limit exposure to the sun.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Itching is generally the only manifestation of pediculosis capitis (head lice). Diagnosis is made by observation of the white eggs (nits) on the hair shaft. Vesicles, scalp rash, and localized inflammatory response are not symptoms of head lice.
