The nurse is working at a podiatrist's office. Which assessment finding is characteristic to the acquisition of onychomycosis in women?
A) Clipping nails too closely
B) Soaking hands in detergent
C) Wearing artificial nails
D) Filing nails even with the fingers
C
Feedback:
The nurse is correct to instruct the client that onychomycosis is frequently found in the fingernails of women wearing artificial nails. Unsanitary cleansing of nail-application utensils between customers in salons seems to be the mode of transmission. Clipping nails too closely can cause discomfort. Soaking hands in detergent and filing nails even with the fingers do not cause onychomycosis.
