Which interventions should a nurse implement as part of initial pain relief for the client with a cast?Explanation: Most pain can be relieved by elevating the casted part of the body, and by applying cold packs as prescribed and administering analgesics. The application of a new cast and providing passive range-of-motion would not assist in decreasing initial pain for a patient with a cast.
Which intervention would the nurse implement with the client in a plaster cast?Nursing Interventions for Cast Care:. Monitor for compartment syndrome: 6 P's.. Monitor for infection: hotspots in the cast, severe pain, fever.. Keep the cast and extremity elevated above the heart level (decreases swelling). Apply ice packs to the cast for the first 2 days to decrease swelling.. Which type of cast and closes the trunk and a lower extremity?Spica cast. A cast that includes the trunk of the body and one or more limbs is a spica cast, just as is a cast that includes the "trunk" of the arm and one or more fingers or the thumb. For example, a shoulder spica includes the trunk of the body and one arm, usually to the wrist or hand.
Which term describes a surgical procedure to release constricting muscle fascia so as to relieve muscle tissue pressure?Definition. Fasciotomy is a surgery to relieve swelling and pressure in a compartment of the body. Tissue that surrounds the area is cut open to relieve pressure. Fasciotomy is most often needed in the leg, but it may also be done in the arm, hand, foot, or abdomen.
