A nurse is collecting data from a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

A. "Lice do not survive away from the host."

- This statement is incorrect. Lice can survive away from the host (human scalp) for a limited period, usually up to 1-2 days. They may be found on items such as bedding, clothing, hats, or hair accessories. Therefore, proper cleaning and disinfection of these items are essential to prevent the spread of lice.

B. "Washing your child's hair daily will prevent lice."

- This statement is incorrect. While maintaining good hygiene is important, washing hair daily does not necessarily prevent lice infestation. Lice infestations occur through direct head-to-head contact with an infested person, not due to uncleanliness. Additionally, lice are more commonly found in clean hair rather than dirty hair.

C. "Encourage your child to avoid sharing hats with other children."

- This statement is correct. Sharing personal items such as hats, scarves, brushes, or hair accessories can facilitate the spread of lice from one person to another. Therefore, it's important to advise children not to share these items to reduce the risk of lice transmission.

D. "Lice can jump from one child to another."

- This statement is incorrect. Lice do not have the ability to jump or fly. They spread through direct contact with the hair or scalp of an infested person. However, they can crawl quickly from one person to another, especially when there is close contact, such as during play or when sharing personal items.

A. Baseball games: Participating in baseball games may involve running, jumping, and sudden movements that could potentially strain the surgical area or cause discomfort. It's best to avoid strenuous physical activities like baseball until the child has fully recovered from orchiopexy.

B. Running around the playground: Running around the playground may also involve vigorous physical activity that could potentially affect the surgical site. It's advisable to limit activities that involve running or jumping until the child's healthcare provider gives clearance.

C. Horseback riding: Horseback riding involves sitting on a horse and may put pressure on the groin area, where the surgical site is located. It's generally recommended to avoid activities like horseback riding until the child has fully healed from orchiopexy.

D. Puzzle games: Puzzle games are typically low-impact activities that do not involve physical exertion or strain on the surgical area. Engaging in quiet, seated activities like puzzle games can be suitable for a child who is recovering from orchiopexy and may help keep them entertained during the recovery period.
