Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Ask women whether they frequently polish their nails and use polish remover, because chemicals in these products cause excessive nail dryness. Inflammatory lesions and fungus of the nail bed cause thickened, horny nails, which separate from the nail bed. Dry climates and washing dishes do not cause excessively dry nails

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Plantar warts are caused by a papilloma virus and can be spread. Answers 2, 3, and 4 are all methods by which plantar warts can be removed.
