The Nurse Is Caring for a Patient Who Has Undergone

The nurse is caring for a patient who has undergone surgery for a broken leg and has a cast in place. What should the nurse do to prevent skin impairment?

A) Assess surfaces exposed to the edges of the cast for pressure areas.
B) Keep the patient's blood pressure low to prevent overperfusion of tissue.
