Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The sequence for giving a bath is as follows: eyes, face, both arms, chest, hands/nails, abdomen, both legs, perineal hygiene, back, and buttocks/anus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Head lice are difficult to remove and spread to furniture and other people if not treated. Caution against use of products containing lindane because the ingredient is toxic and is known to cause adverse reactions. Treatments use medicated shampoo for eliminating lice. Manual removal is the best option when treatment has failed.
