Question: 1 / 400

When applying a cast, what is applied over a stockinette?

Bandage

Plaster

A cast is a hard covering placed over a limb in order to stabilize and protect it. The main purpose of applying a stockinette is to protect the skin from the rough cast material. It also helps to create a smooth and comfortable surface for the cast to be applied over. While gel, clay, and bandages may have some medical uses, they are not typically applied over a stockinette during the casting process. Plaster, on the other hand, is a common material used to create casts and is applied over the stockinette to provide a hard and durable covering for the injured limb. So, the correct answer is B Plaster.
