Tannis Sorge, RN, Foot Care Nurse Educator with PEDEd
This presentation will explore when nail correction may be appropriate for troublesome or involuted nails, particularly when the nail is causing discomfort or may place the client at risk of future complications. Attendees will gain an understanding of how nail correction works and the clinical considerations involved in selecting suitable clients and nails. 

What You'll Take Back to Your Practice

• Identify clinical indications for nail correction systems in nursing foot care, including the characteristics of troublesome or involuted nails that place clients at risk for pain, ingrowth, or future complications.
• Describe the mechanism of action of nail correction systems and how they work to gradually reshape or realign the nail plate in appropriate clients.
• Apply clinical criteria for selecting suitable clients and nails for nail correction, differentiating cases appropriate for this intervention from those requiring alternative management or referral.
