A 2-year-old boy living on a farm is found to have an Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm) infestation. The nurse teaches the mother about the transmission of these parasites. What statement indicates that the mother needs further teaching?

C. "We're going to have to wash everyone's bedding in soapy water every day."

Explanation:

Ascariasis can be described as a disease which is caused by Ascaris lumbricoides. Infections mostly occur through contaminated food or water having Ascaris eggs.

Preventions include cleaning your hands every time when using the toilet. Washing raw vegetables and fruits with clean water before using them. Using clean, boiled water.

This infection is not transmitted through fomites, hence there is no need to wash beddings every day. So, option C is not correct.
