A client whose nail or skin is infected, inflamed, broken, or swollen should not receive services. Instead, the client should be referred to a physician to determine the type of treatment that is required.
The cervix or cervix uteri (Latin: neck of the uterus) is the lower part of the uterus in the human female reproductive system.
Before pregnancy, your cervix â the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina â is normally closed and rigid. As pregnancy progresses and you prepare to give birth, the cervix gradually softens, decreases in length (effaces) and opens (dilates).
