The nurse is caring for a client admitted for control of unstable angina. The nurse answers the call bell and the client reports severe pain (10 on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being worst) in the left leg. The nurse assesses the left leg and finds it cold, pale, and pulseless, with no popliteal, dorsalis pedis, or posterior tibial pulse by palpation or Doppler. The nurse's priority intervention is to:
1. Elevate the leg and apply heat.
2. Have the client walk to improve circulation.
3. Notify the RN or physician immediately.
4. Administer an analgesic to control pain.
