Question

Kay has a nail problem that was caused when moisture got trapped between her un-satirized natural nails and her artificial nails. This condition was a yellow-green color that has now turned black. Given Kay's situation, What should the nail technician do?

1) Remove the artificial nails and treat the natural nails
2) Apply a nail polish to cover the black color
3) Ignore the problem as it will go away on its own
4) Cut the natural nails to prevent further damage

Answer 1

The nail technician should remove the artificial nails and treat the natural nails.

Step-by-step explanation:

To address Kay's nail problem, the nail technician should remove the artificial nails and treat the natural nails. Moisture trapped between the natural and artificial nails can lead to an infection, which seems to be the case here. Treating the natural nails involves cleaning and disinfecting the affected area, and providing appropriate care to promote healing.
