• Live with diabetes, circulatory conditions, or other chronic health concerns

• Experience reduce mobility or difficulty performing foot self-care

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER NAIL CARE

Did you know that improper nail trimming techniques can increase the risk of infection, particularly for individuals living with diabetes,neuropathy, or circulatory conditions?

The cuticle and hyponychium are two important membranes of the nail unit. The cuticle forms a seal at the base of the nail plate, helping to prevent bacteria and pathogens from entering the nail unit. The hyponychium, located beneath the free edge of the nail, provides protection to the underlying nail bed.

Cutting or disrupting these protective tissues can create an entry point for infection. Nursing foot care emphasizes safe technique, sterile instrumentation, and clinical assessment to preserve tissue integrity and reduce the risk of preventable complications.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• Assessment of skin integrity, circulation, and sensation

• Nail trimming and nail management

• Reduction of calluses and thickened skin

• monitoring for early signs of ulceration, infection, or other foot complications

• Referral recommendations when concerns require physician, nurse practitioner, podiatry, chiropody,  or other specialist evaluation

HIGH -RISK FOOT CARE

Individuals living with diabetes, neuropathy, vascular conditions, impaired healing, or other chronic health concerns may require high-risk foot care.
