Final answer:

The client should understand that leg swelling is expected after the cast removal.


Explanation:

The correct statement indicating that the client understands the teaching is:

  • I can expect my leg to be swollen after the cast is removed.

This statement shows that the client comprehends the normal post-removal effects of the cast. Swelling after cast removal is a common occurrence due to the body readjusting to being without the support of the cast.
