Solution

The improper care after cast application among the options provided is "Handling newly apply plaster with finger tips". It is recommended to handle a newly applied plaster cast with palms, not fingertips, to avoid denting or damaging the cast. The other options, such as supporting and elevating affected limbs with pillows/suitable appliances and continuing neurovascular assessment, are indeed proper care methods after cast application.
