2. Providing pain medication prior to physical therapy

Rationale:
The client's pain needs to be controlled so that the client can participate in physical therapy. When pain medication is provided prior to physical therapy, the client's participation in therapy is enhanced. The other statements indicate the client is still experiencing significant pain, which would hinder participating in therapy and delay discharge.
