  • 2. 

    The nail plate is very absorbent and too much water can cause splitting and peeling.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The nail plate is made up of layers of keratin, which is a porous material. This means that it can absorb water. When the nail plate absorbs too much water, it can cause the nails to become soft and weak, leading to splitting and peeling. Therefore, it is true that too much water can cause these issues with the nail plate.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    White spots on the nail are commonly caused by trauma to the nail plate, resulting in minor separation of the layers. This trauma can be caused by various factors such as injury, pressure, or repetitive activities. These white spots are typically harmless and will grow out with the nail over time. Therefore, the statement "White spots on the nail, is usually minor separation of the layers caused by trauma to the nail plate" is true.

    Which two important rules apply to a nail technician?

    • A nail technician is not a doctor nor dermatologist and should not diagnose any medical condition

    • A nail technician may treat inflamed or infected hangnail

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A nail technician is not a doctor nor dermatologist and should not diagnose any medical condition
    A. Refer the client to a GP or specialist if there is doubt about a condition, do not continue treatment
    Explanation
    A nail technician is not qualified to diagnose medical conditions as they are not doctors or dermatologists. It is important for them to refer the client to a GP or specialist if there is any doubt about a condition, rather than continuing treatment. This ensures that the client receives proper medical attention and avoids any potential harm or complications.

  • 5. 

    Which statement does not effect nail growth?

    Correct Answer
    A. Diet, vitamin or mineral intake
    Explanation
    Diet, vitamin or mineral intake does not affect nail growth. Nail growth is primarily determined by factors such as the season, pregnancy, and stimulation of circulation in the nail matrix and nail bed. While a balanced diet and proper intake of vitamins and minerals are important for overall health, they do not have a direct impact on the rate of nail growth.

    Correct Answer
