A 4-year-old has been scheduled for a cardiac catheterization. To help prepare the family, the nurse should:
1. Advise the family to bring the child to the hospital for a tour a week in advance.
2. Explain that the child will need a large bandage after the procedure.
3. Discourage bringing favorite toys that might become associated with pain.
4. Explain that the child may get up as soon as the vital signs are stable.
