    To prevent problems with sculptured nails, they should be maintained every

    • 2-3 weeks

    • 4 weeks

    • 2-3 months

    • 6 months

    Correct Answer
    A. 2-3 weeks
    Explanation
    To prevent problems with sculptured nails, they should be maintained every 2-3 weeks. This is because sculptured nails require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best and to prevent issues such as lifting, breakage, or damage to the natural nails. Waiting longer than 2-3 weeks between maintenance appointments can lead to overgrown nails, increased risk of infections, and decreased durability of the sculptured nails. Therefore, regular maintenance every 2-3 weeks is necessary to ensure the longevity and health of sculptured nails.

    Before manicuring implements are used, they should be

    • Wiped with a towel

    • Wipe with cotton

    • Cleaned and disinfected

    • Dipped in hot water

    Correct Answer
    A. Cleaned and disinfected
    Explanation
    Manicuring implements, such as nail clippers, cuticle pushers, and nail files, come into contact with the skin and nails, making them susceptible to bacteria and infection. Therefore, it is important to clean and disinfect these tools before use to ensure that they are free from any harmful bacteria or germs. Wiping with a towel or cotton may remove some visible dirt or debris, but it may not effectively eliminate all bacteria. Dipping in hot water alone may not be sufficient to kill all the bacteria present. Therefore, the best practice is to clean and disinfect the implements to maintain proper hygiene and prevent the spread of infections.

    A. Top coat
    Explanation
    A top coat is a clear, protective layer applied over nail polish to prevent chipping. It acts as a barrier between the nail polish and external factors such as water, chemicals, and friction, which can cause the polish to chip or peel off. The top coat provides an extra layer of strength and durability to the nail polish, making it last longer and stay intact.

    Oil manicures are recommended for dry skin.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Oil manicures are recommended for dry skin because oil helps to moisturize and hydrate the skin. Dry skin tends to lack natural oils, leading to flakiness, roughness, and cracking. By using oil during a manicure, the skin is nourished and replenished with moisture, making it softer and smoother. The oil also helps to strengthen the nails and prevent them from becoming brittle and breaking. Therefore, oil manicures are beneficial for individuals with dry skin as they provide the necessary hydration and improve the overall health and appearance of the hands and nails.

    A hand massage during a manicure helps to keep the hands flexible, well groomed, and smooth. This is because the massage helps to improve blood circulation, relax the muscles, and moisturize the skin.

    • Thrown away

    • Dipped into alcohol

    Correct Answer
    A. Thrown away
    Explanation
    After using a cotton swab on a client's skin, the swab should be thrown away. This is because the cotton swab has come into contact with the client's skin, which may contain bacteria, dirt, or other contaminants. Throwing away the used swab ensures that it is not reused and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination. Disinfecting or rinsing the swab may not effectively remove all the contaminants, making it less hygienic for further use.

Non-pathogenic bacteria, on the other hand, do not cause disease and may even have beneficial effects on the host. Non-contagious refers to diseases that cannot be transmitted from one person to another. Saprophytes are organisms that obtain nutrients from decaying organic matter and are not typically associated with causing disease. Therefore, the correct answer is pathogenic, as it specifically refers to bacteria that cause disease.

    When applying polish, which one of the following can be used to correct a smudge before applying more polish?

    • Alcohol

    • Cuticle oil

    • Polish Remover

    • Primer

    Correct Answer

The paper wrap provides strength and support to the nail, allowing it to grow out without breaking further. It is a temporary solution until the nail can be properly repaired or until it grows out enough to be trimmed. Paper wraps are commonly used in nail salons and by individuals who want to maintain the strength and appearance of their natural nails.

    Correct Answer
    A. Break before discarding
    Explanation
    The nail technician should break the emery board before discarding it.

Breaking the emery board is a common practice in the nail industry to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of infections.
