A 12-year-old has a fractured femur and is immobilized in traction as shown in the figure. The nurse should:
1. Add additional weight until the foot is only 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the bed.
2. Offer foods that are easy to eat.
3. Place a pillow under the fractured leg to provide support.
4. Provide opportunities for age-appropriate activities.
