a)The cast should be covered to keep the patient warm
b)The patient should be turned frequently to allow the cast to dry evenly

d)The cast is supported with the palms of your hands when it needs to be lifted

Respuesta :

The false statement is:

b) The patient should be turned frequently to allow the cast to dry evenly.

This statement is false. Turning the patient frequently is not necessary for the cast to dry evenly. The cast is designed to dry on its own over time. It's important to follow the specific instructions provided by the healthcare professional regarding caring for the cast. Turning the patient excessively could disrupt the drying process and may not be necessary for cast care. The other statements (a, c, and d) are generally accurate practices for cast care.
