Hi! What would be your nursing management and interventions for patients with cast?

[mom2bears]

Assesment of the area distal and proximal to the casted area.
Palpation of the cast itself for "hot spots"
Assessment of color and sensation of the casted extremity

[P_RN]

Assure cast edges are smooth and not pressing into the skin.
Look out for comaprtment sx....very important. Read up on compartment syndrome.
