Which item is an example of a disposable item?

• A. Clippers
• B. Orangewood sticks
• C. Metal combs
• D. Reusable towels

Answer: (B)

Disposable items are designed for single use and are discarded after one client to prevent cross-contamination. Orangewood sticks are inexpensive wooden tools used during nail and cuticle care and are intended to be thrown away after each client. Their porous material makes thorough cleaning impractical, so they’re treated as single-use. In contrast, metal clippers and combs are durable and are cleaned and disinfected or sterilized between clients, not discarded. Towels are fabric and are laundered and reused rather than disposed after one use.
