Pediculosis capitis also known as the head lice infestation is the infection of the head hair and scalp by the head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis). Head lice are spread by direct contact with the hair of someone who is infected. Itching from lice bites is common and may cause problems with sleeping. The itch may not develop for up to six weeks when a person is infected. Symptoms may begin much more quickly if a person is infected again. However, it is not a serious condition.

The three (3) measures the nurse will inform the mother about to address the infestation of pediculosis capitis were

a.       Combing the hair frequently with a fine tooth comb or shaving the head completely.

b.      Washing the Child’s clothing in hot water with detergents

c.       Applying Spinosad 0.9% topical suspension on his hair.
