The school nurse is conducting pediculosis capitis (head lice) checks. A child with a “positive” head check would have
1. White, flaky particles throughout the entire scalp region.
2. Maculopapular lesions behind the ears.
3. Lesions in the scalp that extend to the hairline or neck.
4. White sacs attached to the hair shafts in the occipital area.

4... Evidence of pediculosis capitis includes white sacs (nits) that are attached to the hair shafts, frequently in the occiput area. Lesions may be present from itching, but the positive sign is evidence of nits. Lice and nits must be distinguished from dandruff, which appears as white, flaky particles.
