A patient recently had surgery for which a local anesthetic was used. The patient's speech becomes slurred. The nurse's first action would be to:

1. recognize that the patient is experiencing postoperative anxiety and that the drug effects will wear off.
2. determine whether a large quantity of alcohol was consumed before surgery.
3. check IV placement, blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory status.
4. recognize that this event occurs frequently in patients who receive large doses of local anesthetics.
