You get a call from the mother of a 5-year-old patient of yours saying that the school nurse called to tell her that her daughter has head lice. The daughter has been scratching her head quite a bit lately, but she thought that it was due to the decreased frequency of shampooing and brushing since she has insisted upon having small braids in her hair. The mother is concerned about her daughter's health and wants to know what she should do right now because her daughter is still in school. You should advise her that:
A. Head lice are not responsible for the spread of any disease
B. Her daughter should be sent home early from school and treated
C. In addition to infested family members, all members of the household must be treated with a pediculicide
D. Infestations are influenced by length of hair and frequency of shampooing and brushing
E. Since there is widespread resistance to permethrin in the United States, lindane is the preferred method of treatment of head lice
