A client with a right leg fracture is returning to the orthopedist to have the cast removed. During cast removal, it is important for the nurse to assure the client that he or she won't be cut.
<h3>What is cast for?</h3>
Cast is composed of a bandage that, when wet, can be molded and, when dry, becomes resistant. It serves to maintain the position of the injured place until everything is well again.
The position maintained by the cast is that of rest or reduction, in the case of fractures, so that the fractured bone does not move.
The cast immobilizes one joint above and one below the area to be treated.
