    After a fracture is casted, the nurse must monitor circulation, sensation, and movement in the area distal to the injury to prevent complications like compartment syndrome.

Skin integrity, while important, is less critical immediately after casting compared to circulation and movement, as impaired blood flow or nerve damage can cause severe complications and require immediate action.
