The nurse is caring for a child who has a long leg cast. The child complains of increasing pain in the toes of the casted foot. The nurse’s initial action is to:
1. Call the physician to report increasing pain.
2. Administer pain medication.
3. Reposition the child in bed.
4. Check to see if the cast is too tight.
