Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Scales, redness, and flakes that fall off easily are more consistent with seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff) rather than pediculosis capitis.
B. Patches of redness and alopecia associated with animal contact suggest tinea capitis (fungal infection), not lice.
C. Linear burrows with intense nighttime itching are characteristic of scabies, caused by mites under the skin, not head lice.
D. Tiny, white, clear, or brown oval nits (lice eggs) that adhere firmly to the hair shaft are the hallmark finding of pediculosis capitis, confirming the infestation.

A. Increasing the dose of muscle relaxants B. Taking a hot bath at least three times a week. C. Avoiding naps during the day D. Working with Occupational and Physical Therapy

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Muscle relaxants (e.g., baclofen) are used to control spasticity in MS, but increasing the dose does not target fatigue. In fact, higher doses can increase drowsiness and worsen fatigue.

B. Heat can exacerbate symptoms in MS (Uhthoff’s phenomenon), including fatigue, muscle weakness, and visual disturbances. Hot baths should be avoided.

C. Clients with MS often benefit from energy conservation techniques, which may include short, planned rest periods or naps. Avoiding all naps can worsen exhaustion.

D. Occupational and physical therapy teach clients energy conservation, pacing activities, and safe exercise routines, which are highly effective strategies for reducing fatigue in MS.
