Answer to Question 1

Compartment syndrome
When pressure within a casted extremity increases, this may lead to compartment syndrome, which occurs when pressure within the muscle compartment increases as a result of edema, bleeding, or decreased venous return. The fascia covering the muscle group acts as a tourniquet on structures within the compartment such as nerves, blood vessels, and muscle tissue.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Instruct the caregiver on how to use simple and direct communication: Sit or stand in front of the patient in full view. This promotes reception of verbal and nonverbal messages. Face the patient who has a hearing impairment while speaking so that the patient can see the speaker's lips. Use a calm and relaxed approach. Use eye contact and touch to help reinforce messages. Speak slowly, in simple words and short sentences, to enhance understanding of messages. Use nonverbal gestures that complement verbal messages.
