The nurse is planning nursing care for a 3-month-old infant with eczema. What would be considered a priority intervention for this client?

A. While scratching due to lice can lead to irritation and lesions, this finding is not specific to pediculosis capitis. Lesions extending to the hairline or neck could be caused by various conditions, such as eczema or dermatitis, rather than lice infestation.
B. This description is more characteristic of tinea capitis (scalp ringworm) rather than pediculosis capitis. Tinea capitis presents as circular patches with raised edges and may cause itching, but it is not caused by lice.
C. In cases of pediculosis capitis, the white sacs refer to nits (lice eggs), which are commonly found attached to hair shafts, especially around the occipital area (back of the head). Nits are oval and may be mistaken for dandruff but are firmly attached to the hair.
D. While maculopapular lesions can be a result of scratching, they are not a typical finding in pediculosis capitis. Such lesions might indicate another skin condition or an allergic reaction rather than an infestation of lice.

A. While osteoporosis is characterized by a negative calcium balance, this is not a major complication itself. It's a contributing factor to the condition.
B. Loss of estrogen is a risk factor for osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women. However, it's not a complication of the disease itself.
C. Dowager's hump, or kyphosis, is a common symptom of osteoporosis, but it's not a major complication. It's a visible manifestation of the disease.
D. Bone fractures are the major complication of osteoporosis. The weakened bones become more susceptible to fractures, especially in areas like the hip, spine, and wrist.
