Answer: There are numerous things that a Home Health Aide should not do when giving foot care to a client with diabetes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were no choices to choose from and so many things that should never be done, I will make a small list of things for you.

1: Never put anything in the client's shoes, as this can cause a blister or cut.

2: Never soak the client's feet in hot water; only use warm water.

3: Never cut the toenails too short and always cut them straight across and file after.

4: Never moisturize between the toes, always moisturize the feet instead.

5: Never treat the calluses or corns yourself, only a DR should perform this.

6: Never scrub patients' feet with anything other than a sponge or soft cloth. Always pat the feet dry.
