The nurse has completed parent education related to treatment for a child with congenital clubfoot. The nurse knows that parents need further teaching when they state,
1. “We’re happy this is the only cast our baby will need.”
2. “We’ll watch for any swelling of the feet while the casts are on.”
3. “We’ll keep the casts dry.”
4. “We’re getting a special car seat to accommodate the casts.”

1 --> Serial casting is the treatment of choice for congenital clubfoot. The cast is changed every one to two weeks. Parents should be watching for swelling while the casts are on, keeping the casts dry, and using a car seat to accommodate the casts.
