The school nurse assesses lice and nits (lice eggs) in the hair of a child attending the elementary school. Which instruction should the nurse include when talking with the parent?

1. Apply Nix (permethrin) topically to the scalp twice a day for 1 week.

2. Ask the HCP for a prescription for a shampoo to treat the lice.

3. It is fine to allow the child to continue attending class while being treated.

4. Shampoo the hair with RID (pyrethrin with piperonyl butoxide) and comb the nits out.
