The nurse is performing an admission assessment on a neonate and finds the femoral pulses to be weaker than the brachial and radial pulses. The next nursing action should be to:
1. Call for a cardiac consult.
2. Note and tell the physician when rounds are made.
3. Place the neonate in reverse Trendelenburg position.
4. Take the neonate's blood pressure in all four extremities.
