Which step helps prevent deterioration or recurrence of onycholysis after it has cleared up?

Explanation:
When nails are recovering from onycholysis, protecting the growing nail from further trauma is key. Clipping away the detached portion and keeping the nails short reduces leverage and snagging, while limiting exposure to moisture and irritants as the nail regrows. This supports stable reattachment and helps prevent the condition from returning. Other approaches—like using camouflage polishes, soaking in hot water, or ignoring changes and resuming normal care—can trap moisture, soften the nail, or invite further damage or infection, making relapse more likely.
