A client with Onychomycosis should be referred to a?

Physician
Pediatrician
Dermatologist
Cosmetologist

The correct answer is: Physician

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the nails. Therefore, it is best to refer the client to a physician who can properly diagnose and treat the condition. Option B, Pediatrician, specializes in the medical care of children and typically do not treat adult fungal infections. Option C, Dermatologist, would also be an appropriate referral as they specialize in skin conditions, including nail infections. However, they may not have the medical training and knowledge to treat the infection internally. Option D, Cosmetologist, primarily focuses on beauty treatments and may not have the necessary medical knowledge to properly diagnose and treat Onychomycosis.
