Question 1 of 5
A client fractured the right ankle which was casted with a plaster of Paris cast. Before discharge, the nurse gives instructions for cast care. Which statement made by the client indicates that further teaching is needed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wiggling toes promotes circulation and helps detect any tightness or swelling in the cast. Inserting objects into the cast, such as a chopstick, to relieve an itch can cause injury or damage to the skin or the cast itself. Monitoring sensations in the foot is crucial to identify any issues such as decreased circulation or increased pressure. Noticing hot spots on the cast is important as it may indicate irritation or infection beneath the cast.
