A Patient Has a Short-Arm Plaster Cast Applied at the Outpatient

A patient has a short-arm plaster cast applied at the outpatient center for a wrist fracture. An understanding of discharge teaching is apparent when the patient says,

A) "I can get the cast wet as long as I dry it right away with a hair dryer."
B) "I should avoid moving my fingers and elbow until the cast is removed."
C) "I will apply an ice pack to the cast over the fracture site for the next 24 hours."
D) "I can rub lotion on any itching areas under the cast with a cotton-tipped applicator."
