Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fingernails should be clipped straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Scissors may cause uneven cutting and clipping in a rounded shape may increase the likelihood of the nail growing into the skin. Although an RN may assist with nail care for certain patients, it is not necessary for routine fingernail maintenance.
