    What is Onycholysis

    • Separation of the nail plate from the nail bed

    • Fungal infection

    • Bacterial infection

    • Spoon nail

    Correct Answer
    A. Separation of the nail plate from the nail bed
    Explanation
    Onycholysis refers to the separation of the nail plate from the nail bed. This condition occurs when the nail plate lifts or detaches from the underlying nail bed, leading to a gap between the two. Onycholysis can be caused by various factors such as trauma, repetitive use of the fingers, fungal or bacterial infections, or certain underlying medical conditions. It is characterized by changes in the appearance and texture of the affected nail, including discoloration, thickening, and brittleness. Proper diagnosis and treatment are necessary to address the underlying cause and promote nail healing.

    • Hyponychium

    • Nail root

    • Nail Bed

    Correct Answer
    A. Eponychium
    Explanation
    The eponychium is a thin layer of skin that covers the base of the nail, known as the nail root, and the matrix, which is where the nail is produced. It acts as a protective barrier, preventing any foreign substances or bacteria from entering the area and causing infection. The eponychium also helps to maintain the health and integrity of the nail by sealing off the growing nail from external damage or trauma.

    Correct Answer
    A. The act of destroying All Germs
    Explanation
    Sterilization refers to the act of destroying all germs. It is a process used to eliminate or kill all forms of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, from a surface, material, or environment. This is typically achieved through the use of heat, chemicals, radiation, or filtration methods. Sterilization is important in various industries, such as healthcare, food processing, and laboratory settings, to ensure the safety and prevention of the spread of infectious diseases.

    What is Pterygium

    • Haemorrhage/bruised nails

    • The overgrowth of the cuticle that sticks to the surrounding surface of the nail plate

    • Small tears or splits in the skin surrounding the nail

    • Nail biting

    Correct Answer
    A. The overgrowth of the cuticle that sticks to the surrounding surface of the nail plate
    Explanation
    Pterygium refers to the overgrowth of the cuticle that sticks to the surrounding surface of the nail plate. This condition occurs when the cuticle, which is the thin layer of skin at the base of the nail, grows too much and attaches itself to the nail. This can cause the nail to appear overgrown or misshapen. It is important to keep the cuticles well-maintained and avoid excessive cutting or picking at them to prevent the development of pterygium.

    Correct Answer
    A. 240 grit
    Explanation
    A grit size of 240 is recommended for use on the natural nail plate. This grit size is considered to be medium-fine and is suitable for smoothing and shaping the nails without causing excessive damage or roughness. It allows for gentle filing without being too coarse or abrasive, resulting in a smoother and more polished finish on the natural nail plate.

    Give three obserbable reasons for nails lifting

    • Heart medication, acid juces, mixing products

    • Natural oils, excess dust, pterygium

    • Excess vitamin B6, bacterial in the client's system, allergies

    • Contaminated products, nervous habits, household cleaning products

    Correct Answer
    A. Natural oils, excess dust, pterygium
    Explanation
    The three observable reasons for nails lifting are natural oils, excess dust, and pterygium. Natural oils can accumulate on the nails and create a barrier that prevents proper adhesion of nail products. Excess dust can also interfere with the bonding of nail products and cause lifting. Pterygium, which is a condition where the skin grows over the nail plate, can cause lifting as well. These factors can all contribute to nails lifting and should be addressed to maintain the longevity of nail enhancements.

The appearance of white spots on the nails is a common occurrence and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if the white spots are accompanied by other symptoms or persist for a long time, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

    Explanation
    Sanitation refers to the act of retarding the growth of germs. It does not kill the germ, but rather prevents the spread of the germ. This means that sanitation measures aim to control and limit the growth and transmission of micro-organisms on non-living surfaces and environmental surfaces. It is important to note that sanitation does not involve the complete destruction of all germs, but rather focuses on reducing their presence and preventing their spread.

    When do you remove the sticky residue from the Gel

    • Before each application

    • At the end

    • Before you file and before you paint

    Correct Answer
    A. Before you file and before you paint
    Explanation
    The sticky residue from the gel should be removed before filing and painting. This is because filing and painting require a smooth surface to work on, and any residue left on the gel could interfere with the process and affect the final result. Therefore, it is important to remove the sticky residue beforehand to ensure a clean and professional finish.

    When would you use the "wipe and apply" method of preparation?

    • With every nail

    • All the time

    • Very humid conditions and oily nails

    • Dry nails

    Correct Answer
    A. Very humid conditions and oily nails
    Explanation
    The "wipe and apply" method of preparation would be used in very humid conditions and with oily nails. In such conditions, the nail surface tends to be more slippery and the polish may not adhere properly. By wiping the nails with a cleanser or acetone before applying polish, the excess oils and moisture are removed, allowing the polish to adhere better and last longer.

    What does the ultra violet light react with the Gel to cure it

    Correct Answer
    Photoinitiator
    Explanation
    The ultra violet light reacts with the gel to cure it by activating the photoinitiator. The photoinitiator is a chemical compound that absorbs the UV light and undergoes a chemical reaction, generating free radicals. These free radicals then initiate a chain reaction that leads to the polymerization of the gel, causing it to harden and cure.

    What is the maximum recommended length of an artificial nail in relation to the clients natural nail?

    Correct Answer
    Half the nail bed
    Explanation
    The maximum recommended length of an artificial nail in relation to the client's natural nail is half the nail bed. This is because artificial nails that are too long can cause discomfort, pain, and damage to the natural nail. By keeping the artificial nail length at half the nail bed, it ensures that the artificial nail is not too long and allows for a more comfortable and healthier nail extension.
