PSI Texas State Board Nail Tech Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What consequence might occur if enough moisture is trapped under a nail wrap?

Nail strength increases

Wrap will adhere better

Growth of bacteria may occur

When moisture becomes trapped under a nail wrap, it creates an environment that is conducive to the growth of bacteria. Bacteria thrive in warm, moist conditions, and when they are sealed beneath the nail wrap, they can multiply rapidly, leading to potential infections. This can compromise the integrity of the nail, cause foul odor, and may result in more serious conditions if not addressed.

In contrast, moisture being trapped does not enhance nail strength, and wraps do not adhere better under moist conditions; in fact, they may lift or become dislodged. Additionally, while moisture is essential for healthy nail growth, excessive moisture trapped under a wrap does not contribute to strengthening the nail bed. It’s important for nail technicians to be aware of proper application techniques and aftercare to prevent such issues.
