A client had a cast applied to the left femur to stabilize a fracture. To promote early rehabilitation, the nurse should first:

1. Call physical therapy to provide passive exercise of the affected limb.

2. Teach the client how to do isometric exercises of the quadriceps.

3. Show the family how to do active range of motion exercises of the unaffected limb.

4. Obtain weights so the client can exercise the upper extremities.
