Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is planning an educational program on Lyme disease for the general public. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the program?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Use a product with DEET on your skin and clothes when you are walking in a wooded area. This statement is important because DEET is an effective insect repellent that can help prevent tick bites, which are the primary mode of transmission for Lyme disease. Using DEET can reduce the risk of getting infected.
Choice A is incorrect because symptoms of Lyme disease typically appear 3 to 30 days after a tick bite, not 2 days.
Choice B is incorrect because testing for Lyme disease should occur if symptoms develop, not within a specific timeframe.
Choice D is incorrect because squeezing an embedded tick with tweezers can lead to the tick's body being crushed and increase the risk of disease transmission.
