Which nursing actions would be appropriate when a nurse is initiating an infusion of morphine sulfat

Which nursing actions would be appropriate when a nurse is initiating an infusion of morphine sulfate for a post-operative patient who is experiencing pain?
1. Anticipate that the patient will begin to experience the effect of the morphine 15 minutes after the start of the infusion.
2. Provide additional intermittent boluses of morphine sulfate if the patient experiences breakthrough pain.
3. Complete the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool scale 5 minutes after increasing the infusion rate each time.
4. Begin the infusion at the lowest ordered dose and increase the rate every 30 minutes if the patient continues to have pain.
