During a nail wrap application, fit the fabric over the nail plate and keep it ______ away from the sidewalls and eponychium.

Directly
Slightly
Firmly
Closely

The correct answer is: Slightly

In a nail wrap application, it's crucial to fit the fabric appropriately over the nail plate to ensure a proper bond and a smooth finish. Keeping the fabric slightly away from the sidewalls and eponychium is important to prevent any irritation or damage to the surrounding skin. If the fabric is applied too closely to these areas, it can lead to lifting or chipping of the wrap, as well as discomfort for the client. A slight gap allows for natural nail growth and movement without putting undue stress on the wrapped area. This technique promotes a more durable and aesthetically pleasing result, while also considering the health and safety of the client's nail bed and surrounding skin.
