What helminths are classified as nematodes by nurses?

Nematodes, also known as roundworms, include a variety of helminths that can cause infections in humans. The correct answer includes threadworm, whipworm, and pinworm, all of which are indeed classified as nematodes.

Threadworm, or Strongyloides stercoralis, is notable for its ability to reproduce in the intestines and is associated with various gastrointestinal symptoms. Whipworm, or Trichuris trichiura, is another nematode that can lead to anemia and gastrointestinal distress. Pinworm, or Enterobius vermicularis, is commonly found in children and causes itching around the anus, particularly at night.

The other listed options include helminths that do not belong to the nematode classification or only represent a fragment of the group. Ascaris, while a roundworm and also a nematode, does not encompass the full range of nematodes like the threadworm, whipworm, and pinworm do. Schistosoma belongs to the trematodes class, not nematodes. Tape worms, or cestodes, are distinctly different as well, classified separately and do not fall under the nematode category.
