Nippers, shears, combs, pushers, and some nail files and buffers are all examples of what type of items?

• A. Porous items
• B. Multi-use items
• C. Non-porous items
• D. Single-use disposable items

Answer: (B)

These are reusable tools that are designed to be used on more than one client with proper cleaning and disinfection between uses. Nippers, shears, combs, pushers, and many nail files and buffers are durable, non-porous (or otherwise capable of thorough sanitation), so they can be cleaned, disinfected, and reused rather than discarded after each client. Porous items or those intended to be disposable after one use would not fit this category, and single-use disposable items are meant to be thrown away after each client.
