Question 1 of 5
A school nurse is completing routine health evaluations for school-age children. Which of the following manifestations should alert the nurse to the possibility of pediculosis capitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reports of scalp itchiness: Itchiness of the scalp is a common symptom of pediculosis capitis (head lice), caused by the allergic reaction to lice bites. This should alert the nurse to the possibility of head lice and warrant further examination. Patches of baldness: While bald patches can be seen in certain conditions like alopecia areata, they are not typically associated with pediculosis capitis. Dry patches on the scalp: Dry patches may indicate a condition like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis, but they are not indicative of pediculosis capitis. Blisters on the scalp: Blisters are more likely associated with skin infections or conditions like impetigo, not pediculosis capitis.
