Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A plaster cast is commonly used for clients with fractures, particularly those that are more severe such as a compound fracture with multiple lacerations. It is not typically used for clients with muscle wasting or neurological disorders like ALS. Additionally, a client with a fractured femur who plans to return to construction work before cast removal would require a cast that allows for weight-bearing, which may not be possible with a plaster cast.
