Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Performing a hair inspection even when asymptomatic is an important teaching component for preventing reinfestation. This is because lice can often go unnoticed and untreated, leading to the potential for continued infestation. The other options are incorrect or inappropriate teaching components. There is a risk when using pediculicides in pregnant women and they should check with their healthcare provider before use. Pediculicides should not be used on pets as they have different types of lice. Infestation is not a reflection of hygiene practices, but rather can occur in anyone regardless of cleanliness.
