School-age child following plaster cast for right forearm fracture


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a school-age child following the application of a plaster cast for a right forearm fracture. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to implement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Apply pieces of moleskin around the edges of the cast. This intervention helps prevent skin irritation and breakdown at the edges of the cast. Moleskin acts as a barrier between the cast and the skin, reducing friction and pressure. It promotes comfort and skin integrity.
Choice A is incorrect because applying plastic covering to the cast until dry can trap moisture, leading to skin maceration.
Choice C is incorrect as repositioning the cast with fingertips can compromise its integrity and fit.
Choice D is incorrect because maintaining the casted extremity below heart level can increase swelling and compromise circulation.
