A client оn wоrker's cоmpensаtion insurаnce with а boxer's (4th metacarpal) fracture comes into the clinic on his 4th visit.  His wrist is very edematous and the alignment of the rays appears distorted.   When questioned, the client reports he took the clam digger splint off when he was skatebaording and took a little fall.  What should the COTA do?
