2. Differentiate information about current treatments and new trends, including the safety and efficacy of products available for the treatment of head lice.
3. Describe how resistance issues may impact existing approaches to the treatment of head lice
4. Examine the issues surrounding “no nit” school health policies and evaluate the effect upon patients and society.
5. Discuss the pharmacoeconomic impact of head lice.
