Which of the following is NOT a recommended part of diabetic foot care?

  1. Inspect the feet daily

  2. Keep the feet clean and dry

  3. Trim toenails carefully

  4. Soak feet in hot water

The correct answer is: Inspect the feet daily

Inspecting the feet daily is an important part of diabetic foot care. Neglecting to do so can lead to complications such as foot ulcers and infections. Keeping the feet clean and dry, as well as trimming toenails carefully, are also important in preventing these issues. Soaking the feet in hot water is not recommended as it can cause burns and increase the risk of infection for those with diabetes. It is important for diabetic individuals to avoid exposing their feet to extreme temperatures.
