A 4-year-old boy sustains a fall on the playground and is brought to the emergency department by his parent. After an x-ray examination, the child is diagnosed with a fractured arm, and a plaster cast is applied. The nurse provides the parent instructions about home care of the cast. Which statement by the parent indicates a need for further teaching? “I can use lotion or powder inside the cast edges to relieve itching.” “While the cast is drying, I will lift it with the palms of my hands.” “I will call the doctor for a fever over 101.5oF taken by mouth.” “I will check the color and sensation of the fingers every 2 hours for the next 48 hours.”
