When the nurse is teaching cast care to a client, it should include: do not cover or dry the cast with a hairdryer or heat lamp, allow the moisture and heat from the drying cast to evaporate naturally; inform the client that the heat felt during cast application is normal and should subside in 10 to 15 minutes; to avoid indentation, place a drying cast on a pillow and not on a flat surface; and handle the cast using the palms of the hands.

Answer to Question 2

Nursing interventions for the school-age children with type 1 diabetes include teaching the child to participate actively in his or her care, such as learning to perform his or her own insulin injections and glucose testing.
