A mother brings in her 6-year-old daughter to see the nurse practitioner (NP). She complains that the school
nurse found a few nits on her daughter's hair. The mother states that the school has a "no nits" policy regarding
head lice and the child cannot go back to school until all the nits have been removed. The child was treated with
permethrin shampoo (Nix) twice about 3 months ago. During the physical exam, the NP sees a few nits that are
about 2 inches away from the scalp. The child denies itchiness on her scalp. Which of the following is the best
action for the NP to follow?
A) Prescribe lindane (Kwell) for the child because she may have head lice that are resistant to permethrin
B) Advise the mother to use a nit comb after spraying the child's hair with white distilled vinegar, waiting for 15
minutes, and then rinsing the child's hair
C) Advise the mother to re-treat the girl with permethrin cream instead of s –
Correct Answer :B) Advise the mother to use a nit comb after spraying the child's hair with white distilled
vinegar, waiting for 15 minutes, and then rinsing the child's hair

does not have an itchy scalp. One method of removal is to soak the child's head with distilled vinegar (and then
rinse after), which will break down the protein of the nit casings, making it easy to comb them out of the hair.
