Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reports of increased pain, numbness, or tingling in the fingers beyond the cast could be a sign that blood flow is impaired and should be reported immediately. The nurse needs to be made aware that the person is experiencing an itchy sensation beneath the cast, but it is not as important as the reports of tingling or pain. The other options are not situations that need to be reported.
