Education is a key component of nursing care when dealing with lice infestations. Nurses can provide families with:
Written instructions and diagrams to guide them through the nit combing process. Information about the life cycle of lice to help them understand the importance of thorough combing. Details about preventive measures to avoid future infestations.
Through workshops or individual consultations, nurses can demonstrate the use of nit combs and answer any questions families may have.
