The answer is the last one: Clean under the nail with an orange stick.

Explanation for each option:

  • Push the cuticles back with a metal nail file: This is not recommended as it can cause damage to the cuticles and increase the risk of infection.
  • Trim the nails at the lateral corners: This can lead to ingrown nails, which can be painful and may require medical treatment.
  • File the nails in a rounded shape: While this is not necessarily harmful, it is generally recommended to file nails straight across to prevent ingrown nails.
  • Clean under the nail with an orange stick: This is a safe and appropriate action for nail care, as it helps to remove dirt and debris from under the nails without causing damage.

Summary: The nurse should clean under the nail with an orange stick, as this is a safe and effective method for maintaining nail hygiene.
