Keyanna, a 7-year-old girl, has been placed in a leg spica case because of injuries she sustained in a motor vehicle accident. The nurse has created a plan of care for Keyanna while she is an inpatient on the pediatric floor.

   2. Checking to make sure two fingers can be inserted along the abdomen of the cast to make sure that it is not too tight.
