An 11-year-old boy with a tibia shaft fracture presents for his first follow-up visit after an injury. He is placed into a non-weight bearing, long leg cast with instructions about cast care.
 
  Your knowledge about cast care reveals that you should include which of the following statements in your instructions? 1. Keep the cast clean and dry, do not insert objects into the cast, and call the doctor if the cast becomes loose, cracked, or ill fitting.
   2. You may take a shower in the cast, just don't put weight on it.
   3. It's okay to put coins down the cast.
   4. Do not call the office for a foul smell or skin irritation.
