What should be used to treat small nicks or cuts?

  1. Alcohol

  2. Styptic powder

  3. Olive oil

  4. Water

The correct answer is: Styptic powder

Styptic powder is the best option for treating small nicks or cuts because it helps stop bleeding and prevents infection. Alcohol may sting and irritate the wound, while olive oil and water do not have any healing properties. It's important to choose a product specifically designed for treating cuts and scrapes, rather than trying to use common household items.
