If you cut or nick a client with a razor, pat the area dry and apply _____________.

  1. Styptic powder

  2. Alcohol

  3. Water

  4. Antibiotic cream

The correct answer is: Styptic powder

Styptic powder is the best option to apply to a cut or nick from a razor. This is because it is specifically designed to stop bleeding and promote healing in small cuts or wounds. Applying alcohol, water, or antibiotic cream would not have the same effectiveness and could possibly cause further irritation or infection.
