Answer:

Steps recommended to patient for reducing the risk of developing a fungal infection of toenails are regarding to their hygiene, footwear and medications.

Explanation:

Avoid borrowing someone else's shoes or sharing socks or towels with someone who has toenail fungus.
An orthotic device can be used to add cushioning and/or control over-pronation, support the longitudinal arch, and reduce stress on the lower leg muscles.
Wash your feet regularly, and dry them thoroughly when they get wet.
Keep toenails trimmed, and be sure to disinfect any pedicure tools before using them.
If there is any toenail fungus, see your foot doctor. The doctor might remove as much of the nail as possible by trimming, filing or dissolving it.
Medicated nail polish might be prescribed for a localized infection, but a serious infection will likely be treated with a prescription oral antifungal medication

kotegsom [21]

The correct answer here is "cell membrane". Generally it makes sure that nothing enters or leaves the cell, except by its highly guarded "gates", such as ion channels, that let some particles through - but they're very picky about whom to let in!
