    For a client with bitten nails, you should avoid filing the nails, if sore and focus on cuticle work to expose more of the nail plate.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Clients with bitten nails often have sore and sensitive nail beds. Filing the nails can further irritate the nail bed and cause discomfort. Instead, focusing on cuticle work helps to expose more of the nail plate, allowing the nails to grow healthier and stronger. Therefore, it is true that for a client with bitten nails, one should avoid filing the nails if they are sore and concentrate on cuticle work.

    Overuse of a buffer can cause which of the following?

    • Thickened nail plate

    • Blue nail

    • Overgrown cuticles

    • Thin nails and dry and cracked cuticles

    Correct Answer
    A. Thin nails and dry and cracked cuticles
    Explanation
    Overuse of a buffer can cause thin nails and dry and cracked cuticles. Buffing the nails excessively can lead to the removal of the natural oils and moisture from the nails and surrounding cuticles, resulting in dryness and cracking. Additionally, excessive buffing can make the nails thinner and weaker, making them more prone to breakage. Therefore, it is important to use buffers sparingly and to moisturize the nails and cuticles regularly to maintain their health and strength.

    • Ringworm

    • Paronychia

    • Scabies

    Correct Answer
    A. Paronychia
    Explanation
    Paronychia is the correct answer because it is an infectious condition that affects the nails. It is characterized by redness, swelling, and pain around the nail bed. This condition can be caused by bacteria or fungi entering the skin around the nail. Eczema, ringworm, and scabies are not specific to the nails and do not match the symptoms shown in the picture.

    Correct Answer
    A. Fungal
    Explanation
    Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection that affects the skin on the feet. It is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive in warm and moist environments like sweaty shoes and locker room floors. These fungi feed on the dead skin cells and multiply, leading to symptoms such as itching, redness, and peeling of the skin. Therefore, the correct answer is "Fungal."

    Pitting of the nail plate is a condition known as? - ProProfs

    Pitting of the nail plate is a condition known as?

    • Paronychia

    • Psoriasis

    • Ringworm

    • Eczema

    Correct Answer
    A. Psoriasis
    Explanation
    Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the skin, causing the formation of red, scaly patches. Pitting of the nail plate is a common symptom of psoriasis, where small depressions or indentations appear on the surface of the nails. This occurs due to the abnormal growth of skin cells, leading to the separation of the nail plate from the nail bed. Paronychia is an infection of the skin around the nail, ringworm is a fungal infection, and eczema is a condition characterized by itchy and inflamed skin, none of which typically cause pitting of the nail plate.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Non-infectious
    A. Yellowish, hard patches of skin
    A. Can be filed with a foot file to prevent discomfort
    Explanation
    A callus is a non-infectious condition characterized by yellowish, hard patches of skin. It is not caused by an infection and cannot be spread in damp conditions. However, it can be filed with a foot file to prevent discomfort. A callus would prevent a pedicure treatment as it would require special attention and treatment before any cosmetic procedures can be performed.
