-
Reticular Layer
-
Epidermal layer
-
Papillary layer
-
Adipose Layer
Correct Answer
A. Papillary layerExplanation
The papillary layer is responsible for the ability of the skin to return to its original shape after being stretched. This layer is located directly beneath the epidermis and is composed of loose connective tissue. It contains elastic fibers that provide elasticity to the skin, allowing it to stretch and then return to its original form. The reticular layer, epidermal layer, and adipose layer do not have the same elastic properties as the papillary layer, making them incorrect choices.Rate this question:

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
A. Polish RemoverExplanation
Polish Remover can be used to correct a smudge before applying more polish because it effectively removes any excess polish or smudges on the nails. It contains solvents that dissolve the polish, allowing for a clean and even surface to reapply the polish. Alcohol, cuticle oil, and primer do not have the same solvent properties as polish remover, making them less effective in correcting a smudge.Rate this question:

When removing artificial tips, what product would be used?
-
Thinner
-
Acetone
-
Primer
-
Monomer
Correct Answer

Acetone is commonly used to remove artificial tips. It is a strong solvent that effectively breaks down the adhesive used to attach the tips to the natural nails. Acetone is also used to remove nail polish and other nail products. Thinner is not typically used for this purpose, as it is used to adjust the consistency of nail polish or other nail products. Primer is used as a bonding agent to help adhere nail enhancements to the natural nails, while monomer is a liquid used in acrylic nail systems.Rate this question:

-
Immerse for twenty minutes
-
Store in a closed container
-
Wipe with alcohol
-
Break before discarding
Correct Answer
A. Break before discardingExplanation
The nail technician should break the emery board before discarding it.

Which one of the following is a good antiseptic to use on a slight cut?
-
Acetone
-
Styptic pencil
-
Hydrogen peroxide
-
Sodium hypochlorite
Correct Answer
A. Sodium hypochloriteExplanation
Sodium hypochlorite is a good antiseptic to use on a slight cut because it has strong antimicrobial properties. It can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi, reducing the risk of infection. Sodium hypochlorite is commonly found in household bleach and is used as a disinfectant in medical settings. It is safe to use on the skin in diluted forms, making it an appropriate choice for treating minor cuts and wounds. Acetone is a solvent and not suitable for use on cuts. Styptic pencil is used to stop bleeding from minor cuts, but it is not an antiseptic. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean wounds, but it may damage healthy tissue and delay healing.Rate this question:

Han and arm massage should be avoided when
-
The client has had a stroke
-
The skin is very dry
-
The client has liver spots

Extend the arm
Correct Answer
A. Draw the fingers togetherExplanation
The abductor muscles are responsible for drawing the fingers together. These muscles work in opposition to the adductor muscles, which separate the fingers.

What should the nail technician do if the nail plates are touched prior to nail tip application?
-
File free edge
-
Apply cuticle remover
-
Buff shine from nail
-
Apply antiseptic
Correct Answer
A. File free edgeExplanation
If the nail plates are touched prior to nail tip application, the nail technician should file the free edge. This is because touching the nail plates can transfer oils and moisture from the technician's fingers onto the nails, which can affect the adhesion of the nail tips. Filing the free edge helps to remove any oils or moisture and creates a rough surface for better bonding of the nail tips.Rate this question:

Block buffer
Correct Answer
A. Block bufferExplanation
A block buffer is a tool used in nail care to smooth out the surface of the nail. It is a rectangular block with different grits on each side, allowing the technician to gradually buff away any ridges or imperfections on the nail. Unlike a metal file, which can be too harsh and abrasive, a block buffer provides a gentler and more controlled approach to achieving a smooth and even nail surface. Pumice stone and powdered alum are not typically used for this purpose, as they are more commonly used for exfoliating and cleansing the skin.Rate this question:

-
Loosely over the side walls
-
Snugly under the free edge
-
At an angle down from the free edge
Correct Answer
A. Snugly under the free edgeExplanation
When sculpturing nails, the form should be placed snugly under the free edge. This is because the form acts as a guide for creating the desired shape and length of the nail extension. Placing it snugly under the free edge ensures that the extension will be secure and properly aligned with the natural nail. By doing so, the technician can achieve a seamless and natural-looking result.Rate this question:

TB
Correct Answer
A. ScabiesExplanation
Scabies is a skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, which is a type of animal parasite. The mite burrows into the skin, causing intense itching and a rash.

Which one of the following is MOST likely to create an environment for mold growth under artificial nails?
-
Excessive oils
-
Hand creams
-
Paraffin bath
-
Trapped moisture
Correct Answer
A. Trapped moistureExplanation
Trapped moisture is the most likely factor to create an environment for mold growth under artificial nails. Moisture that is unable to escape can create a damp and humid environment, which is ideal for mold to thrive. Excessive oils, hand creams, and paraffin baths may contribute to moisture, but it is the trapped moisture itself that is the main culprit.Rate this question:

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 disinfectedExplanation
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.Rate this question:

A. FormExplanation
A form is required for sculpting an acrylic nail. A form is a template that is placed under the natural nail to provide support and shape for the acrylic extension. It helps create a customized nail shape and length based on the client's preferences. By applying the acrylic product onto the form, the nail technician can sculpt and shape the acrylic nail to achieve the desired look.

Which procedure chemically or physically reduces microbes to safe level?
-
Filing
-
Sanitizing
-
Emulsifying
-
Sterilizing
Correct Answer
A. SanitizingExplanation
Sanitizing is the procedure that chemically or physically reduces microbes to a safe level. It involves using chemicals or heat to kill or remove harmful microorganisms from surfaces, objects, or substances. This process helps to prevent the spread of infections and diseases by eliminating or reducing the number of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Filing, emulsifying, and sterilizing do not specifically target the reduction of microbes to a safe level, making sanitizing the correct answer.Rate this question:

The manicurist accidentally cuts the client's cuticle. What type of disinfectant must be used on the implements?
-
Pathogenic
-
OSHA approved
-
Tuberculocidal
-
Hypoallergenic
Correct Answer
A. TuberculocidalExplanation
Tuberculocidal disinfectants are specifically designed to kill the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, which are highly resistant and difficult to eliminate. Since the manicurist accidentally cut the client's cuticle, there is a risk of exposure to blood and potential transmission of infectious diseases. Therefore, using a tuberculocidal disinfectant on the implements is necessary to ensure proper sterilization and prevent the spread of pathogens.Rate this question:
