The treatment of Pediculosis capitis, or head lice, is fraught with misinformation, myths, and mismanagement. Common myths include the need to exclude children from school, the need to remove all visible nits ("no-nit" policies), the need for massive environmental cleaning, that head lice live for long periods of time, and that schools are a common location for lice transmission. Head lice are a common childhood nuisance, causing embarrassment and emotional trauma in both children and families. This article explores and challenges the commonly held beliefs about the identification, management, and treatment of Pediculosis by presenting current recommended evidence-based practice. It also challenges pediatric nurses, and school nurses in particular, in alignment with the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) Position Statement on Pediculosis Management in the School Setting, to act as change agents for reasonable and effective school policies and practices.
头虱病（即头部感染虱子）的治疗充斥着错误信息、谣言和管理不善的情况。常见的谣言包括需要让孩子退学、需要清除所有可见的虱卵（“无虱卵”政策）、需要大规模清洁环境、头虱能存活很长时间，以及学校是虱子传播的常见场所。头虱是儿童时期常见的困扰，给孩子和家庭都带来尴尬和精神创伤。本文通过介绍当前推荐的循证实践，探讨并质疑了关于头虱病识别、管理和治疗的普遍观念。它还向儿科护士，尤其是学校护士提出挑战，要求他们根据美国学校护士协会（NASN）关于学校环境中头虱病管理的立场声明，成为合理有效的学校政策和实践的变革推动者。
