What action should you take if a client has visible signs of a contagious skin condition?

  1. Ignore the condition

  2. Refer the client to a doctor

  3. Continue with the service

  4. Disinfect the tools after the service

The correct answer is: Refer the client to a doctor

If a client has visible signs of a contagious skin condition, it is important to refer them to a doctor instead of ignoring the condition (Option A), continuing with the service (Option C), or only disinfecting tools after the service (Option D). Ignoring the condition could lead to further spreading of the contagious skin condition and put other clients at risk. Continuing with the service could also put other clients at risk and potentially worsen the condition of the client with the skin condition. Only disinfecting tools after the service may not completely eliminate the risk of spreading the condition. It is best to refer the client to a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
