A 25-year-old male complains of severe leg pain. He tells you he went to the urgent care center yesterday, and they applied a temporary cast wrapped with an elastic bandage because he broke his left tibia. He tells you the pain has been getting worse, and he feels pins and needles in his leg. You should:
(a) Remove the cast to assess the leg
(b) Elevate the leg to reduce swelling
(c) Apply ice to the casted area
(d) Reinforce the cast with additional bandages
