Answer:

Cutting of nails after soaking them in wate for 10 mins.

Explanation:

Normally, nails should be cut after soaking them in warm water for 10 minutes. This action should not be performed for diabetic clients because soaking the nails will dry out the hands and feet, which may lead to infection. Applying moisturizing lotion between the toes will promote microorganism growth; it will not dry the skin. Cutting nails straight across and even with the tops of the fingers or toes is the proper way to maintain nail hygiene. Diabetic clients are advised not to use sharp objects to poke or dig under the toenails or around the cuticles to avoid injury to the skin.
