Feedback:
If a client's nails are torn or jagged, clip them with a sterile nail clipper and make them smooth. This helps prevent the nails from snagging on clothing or bed linens. Scissors are not used because of the danger of accidentally nicking the skin. A metal nail file is not used because of its sharp point. This may be dangerous; it can damage the nail or the surrounding skin.
