The nurse is continuing to care for the child. Exhibits Select the 3 priority actions that the nurse should take.

Rationale: A. Elevate the affected forearm with pillows: Elevation helps reduce swelling and promotes venous return, which is critical in the immediate management of a fracture to prevent complications such as increased edema or impaired circulation. B. Administer Ibuprofen 200 mg PO: The child reports pain at a level of 5, meeting the prescription threshold. Administering analgesia promptly helps manage discomfort and supports cooperation with further interventions, such as casting. C. Place a nonadherent dressing on the right knee abrasion: While wound care is important, the abrasion is minor and not the most urgent concern. Prioritization focuses on the fractured limb and pain management. D. Review cast care instructions with the child's parents: Education is important but is not the immediate priority before the cast is applied. It can be provided after the child is stabilized and pain is managed. E. Explain the cast application procedure to the child: While preparing the child psychologically is important, immediate interventions to reduce pain and swelling take precedence over anticipatory teaching. F. Apply ice packs to the fingers and along the right forearm: Ice helps reduce swelling and pain in the acute phase of the fracture. Applying ice in combination with elevation supports circulation and comfort while awaiting casting.
