Title: The patient has just had a plaster of Paris upper extremity cast placed because Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014 The patient has just had a plaster of Paris upper extremity cast placed because of a fractured radius. The statement indicating that the patient understands the discharge teaching related to cast care is:
1. “When I get home, I will remove some of the padding if it feels tight so my fingers don’t swell.” 2. “When I get home, I will wrap the cast in plastic so it will conserve the heat.” 3. “When I get home, I will use a spoon handle to scratch inside if my arm itches.” 4. “When I get home, I am going to rest in bed with my arm elevated above my head.” This is for my medical nursing class Title: Re: The patient has just had a plaster of Paris upper extremity cast placed because Post by: f_zah1 on Oct 23, 2014 Content hidden
