    Nails are appendages of the:

    • Hair

    • Skin

    • Oil glands

    • Sweat glands

    Correct Answer
    A. Skin
    Explanation
    Nails are appendages of the skin. They are made up of a protein called keratin, which is also found in the skin. Nails grow from the nail matrix, which is located under the skin at the base of the nail. The matrix produces new cells that push the existing ones forward, causing the nail to grow. Therefore, nails are considered part of the skin and are closely connected to it.

    What is used to remove dry skin or keratomas from the feet?

    • Toe nail clipper

    • Toe nail separator

    • Foot file

    • Foot powder

    Correct Answer
    A. Foot file
    Explanation
    A foot file is used to remove dry skin or keratomas from the feet. It is a tool designed specifically for exfoliating and smoothing rough areas on the feet. By gently rubbing the foot file on the affected areas, it helps to remove dead skin cells and calluses, leaving the feet soft and smooth. Toe nail clippers are used for trimming nails, while a toe nail separator is used to separate the toes during a pedicure. Foot powder is typically used to absorb moisture and control odor.

    • Shines the nails

    • Softens the cuticles

    • Shapes the nails

    • Removes the polish

    Correct Answer
    A. Softens the cuticles
    Explanation
    The main purpose of a soap bath is to soften the cuticles. Soaking the hands in warm soapy water helps to hydrate and soften the cuticles, making it easier to push them back or remove any excess skin. This process is often done before a manicure or nail treatment to ensure the cuticles are properly cared for and to promote healthy nail growth.

    When polymer is mixed with monomer and shaped, the result is:

    • An acrylic nail

    • A clear nail varnish

    • A fiberglass nail

    • A linen nail

    Correct Answer
    A. An acrylic nail
    Explanation
    When polymer is mixed with monomer and shaped, it forms an acrylic nail. Acrylic nails are artificial nails that are created by combining a liquid monomer with a powder polymer to create a malleable substance that can be shaped over the natural nail. Once the mixture is applied to the nail, it hardens and creates a durable and long-lasting extension. This process is commonly used in nail salons for those who want to enhance the appearance and length of their natural nails.

    A base coat is usually applied:

    • To the lunula only

    • To the free edge only

    • After the color polish

    • Before the color polish

    Correct Answer
    A. Before the color polish
    Explanation
    A base coat is usually applied before the color polish because it helps to create a smooth and even surface for the color to adhere to. It also helps to prevent staining of the natural nail by providing a protective barrier. Applying the base coat first allows for better adhesion and longer-lasting wear of the color polish.

    • On the sidewalls

    Correct Answer
    A. Under the free edge
    Explanation
    The hyponychium is found under the free edge of the nail. This is the area where the nail plate extends beyond the fingertip. It acts as a seal to protect the nail bed from dirt and debris.

    What should be used to remove product from a jar?

    • Spatula

    • Fingertip

    • End of a towel

    • Mail brush

    Correct Answer
    A. Spatula
    Explanation
    A spatula should be used to remove product from a jar because it is a flat, flexible tool that can easily slide under the product and lift it out without causing any damage to the jar or the product itself. Using a fingertip may be unhygienic and could contaminate the product. The end of a towel may not have enough precision or control to effectively remove the product. A mail brush is not a suitable tool for this task as it is designed for brushing and cleaning mail, not for removing product from a jar.

    What should be done with manicuring implements before they are used on a client?

    • Cleaned and disinfected

    • Soaked in acetone

    • Washed with warm soapy water

    • Wiped with alcohol

    Correct Answer
    A. Cleaned and disinfected
    Explanation
    Manicuring implements should be cleaned and disinfected before they are used on a client. This is important to ensure proper hygiene and prevent the spread of bacteria and infections. Cleaning the implements removes any dirt or debris, while disinfecting them kills any remaining bacteria or germs. This process helps maintain a safe and sanitary environment for clients and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Soaking in acetone, washing with warm soapy water, or wiping with alcohol may help clean the implements, but disinfection is necessary to eliminate harmful microorganisms.

    When applying acrylic nails, what will help the acrylic adhere to the natural nail?

    • Monomer

    • Catalyst

    • Primer

    • Lotion

    Correct Answer
    A. Primer
    Explanation
    Primer is used in the process of applying acrylic nails to help the acrylic adhere to the natural nail. It creates a bond between the natural nail and the acrylic, ensuring that the acrylic stays in place and lasts longer. The primer helps to remove any oils or moisture from the natural nail, creating a clean and dry surface for the acrylic to adhere to. This promotes better adhesion and prevents lifting or peeling of the acrylic nails.

    What is melanin?

    • Sweat pore

    • Blackhead

    • Color pigment

    • Collagen

    Correct Answer
    A. Color pigment
    Explanation
    Melanin is a color pigment that is responsible for the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. It is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes and helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The amount and type of melanin present in an individual's skin determine their skin color. People with more melanin have darker skin, while those with less melanin have lighter skin. Melanin also plays a role in the development of freckles, moles, and other pigmented skin conditions.

    What should the nail technician do to remove dust after filing?

    • Gently blow on nails

    • Mist with primer

    • Wipe with monomer

    • Clean with nail brush

    Correct Answer
    A. Clean with nail brush
    Explanation
    To remove dust after filing, the nail technician should clean the nails with a nail brush. This is because a nail brush is specifically designed to remove debris and dust particles from the nails effectively. Blowing on the nails or misting with primer may not be as effective in completely removing the dust, while wiping with monomer may not provide thorough cleaning. Therefore, using a nail brush is the best option to ensure proper removal of dust after filing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Client consultation
    Explanation
    Before beginning a client service, the first step is to have a client consultation. This is important because it allows the service provider to understand the client's needs, preferences, and any specific requirements or concerns they may have. It helps establish clear communication and ensures that the service provided meets the client's expectations. Filing nails, removing polish, and buffing nails are steps that may be performed during the client service, but they come after the initial consultation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Tinea pedis
    Explanation
    Improperly sanitized pedicure basins may cause tinea pedis. Tinea pedis, also known as athlete's foot, is a fungal infection that affects the skin on the feet. It is commonly transmitted in warm and moist environments, such as pedicure basins that have not been properly cleaned and disinfected. This infection can cause itching, redness, peeling, and cracking of the skin on the feet. Therefore, it is important to maintain proper sanitation practices to prevent the spread of tinea pedis and other infections in pedicure settings.

    What can be used by the nail technician to strengthen weak natural nails?

    • Fabric wrap

    • Nail primer

    • Acetone

    • Acrylic liquid

    Correct Answer
    A. Fabric wrap
    Explanation
    Fabric wrap can be used by a nail technician to strengthen weak natural nails. The fabric wrap is a thin, flexible material that is applied to the nail surface using adhesive. It provides support and reinforcement to the natural nail, helping to prevent breakage and promote nail growth. Unlike acrylic liquid or acetone, which are not specifically designed for strengthening nails, fabric wrap is a specialized product that is specifically designed to address the issue of weak natural nails. Nail primer is used to improve the adhesion of nail enhancements, but it does not directly strengthen the natural nails.

    How does the nail technician dispose of used monomer?

    • Return to original container

    • Pour onto absorbent material and bag

    • Flush down drain with warm water

    • Pour into a trash receptacle

    Correct Answer
    A. Pour onto absorbent material and bag
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to pour the used monomer onto absorbent material and bag it. This is the appropriate way to dispose of the used monomer because it helps to prevent any potential environmental contamination. Absorbent material, such as paper towels or kitty litter, can absorb the liquid and make it easier to handle. By bagging it, the nail technician ensures that it is properly contained and can be disposed of in a trash receptacle without causing any harm to the environment. Flushing it down the drain or pouring it into a trash receptacle directly can lead to pollution and damage to the water supply or landfill.

    • Removes wrinkles from hands

    • Lightens age spots

    Correct Answer
    A. Rehydrates the skin
    Explanation
    A paraffin wax manicure benefits a client by rehydrating the skin. Paraffin wax is a natural emollient that helps to soften and moisturize the skin. When applied to the hands, the warm wax helps to open up the pores, allowing the moisturizing properties of the wax to penetrate deep into the skin. This helps to restore moisture to dry and dehydrated skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

    What should be done if a small dark spot appears on the nail plate under the artificial nail:

    • Wait until the condition worsens

    • Add additional acrylic

    • Cover the area with an extra coat of nail polish

    • Remove the product and inspect for any disorders

    Correct Answer
    A. Remove the product and inspect for any disorders
    Explanation
    If a small dark spot appears on the nail plate under the artificial nail, it is important to remove the product and inspect for any disorders. This is because the dark spot could be a sign of an underlying issue or nail disorder that needs to be addressed. Waiting until the condition worsens could lead to further complications, adding additional acrylic or covering the area with nail polish would only temporarily hide the problem without addressing the cause. Therefore, removing the product and inspecting for any disorders is the most appropriate course of action.

    A client with a disease of the fingernails should be referred to a:

    • Physician

    • Manicurist

    • Cosmetologist

    • Desairologist

    Correct Answer
    A. Physician
    Explanation
    A client with a disease of the fingernails should be referred to a physician because physicians are trained medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating various diseases and conditions. They have the knowledge and expertise to properly assess and diagnose the disease of the fingernails, and can provide appropriate medical treatment or refer the client to a specialist if needed. Manicurists, cosmetologists, and desairologists do not have the necessary medical training to diagnose and treat diseases, so referring the client to a physician is the most appropriate course of action.

    To avoid loss of time between appointments the nail technician should:

    • Have two sets of disinfected implements

    • Use the same set of towels for every client

    • Wait to sanitize the implements at the end of the day

    • Eliminate the soaking portion of the manicure

    Correct Answer
    A. Have two sets of disinfected implements
    Explanation
    Having two sets of disinfected implements allows the nail technician to quickly switch between clients without having to stop and sanitize the tools. This saves time and ensures that each client receives clean and sanitary tools for their manicure. Using the same set of towels for every client can spread bacteria and is not hygienic. Waiting to sanitize the implements at the end of the day can lead to cross-contamination between clients. Eliminating the soaking portion of the manicure may not be necessary for all clients and can affect the quality of the service provided.
