مريض عنده جبيرة جبس على الساق يشتكي من حكة تحتها. ما النصيحة؟

A client with a leg cast complains of itching under it. What is advised?

1. Blow cool air with a hairdryer
2. Insert a coat hanger to scratch
3. Pour cold water inside the cast
4. Sprinkle lots of powder inside the cast

Answer: A) Blow cool air with a hairdryer. Nothing is inserted under a cast as it injures the skin and causes infection; cool air can help. Severe itch with odour or pain needs assessment.
