At what angle should a cuticle pusher be held from the nail plate?

45-50 degree angle
20-30 degree angle
15-20 degree angle
90 degree angle

The correct answer is: 20-30 degree angle

The appropriate angle at which a cuticle pusher should be held from the nail plate is between 20-30 degrees. This specific angle allows for effective yet gentle pushing back of the cuticle without causing trauma to the surrounding skin or the nail plate itself. A shallower angle could lead to ineffective pushing, while a steeper angle may increase the risk of damaging the delicate cuticle and surrounding tissue. Maintaining the 20-30 degree angle ensures that the technique is both precise and safe, aligning with best practices in nail care to promote healthy nails and cuticles.
