After falling off playground equipment, a 5-year-old is brought to the emergency department with a broken arm. The parents ask for ways to keep her occupied while wearing the cast. Which is the best response by the nurse?

1. “You will need to talk to the primary care provider about this.”

2. “Let her watch television or do puzzles and other quiet games.”

3. “Activities that do not involve the use of the arm or risk damage to the cast are okay.”

 4. “She can ride a bike, jump rope, or play with friends if you watch her closely.”
