A client was playing tennis when she twisted and lost her balance. The client fell and complained of severe upper left leg pain. The client’s friend called emergency medical services. The client presents to the emergency department (ED) by ambulance for evaluation and treatment. Her left leg is in a vacuum splint. The client has a history of juvenile osteoporosis and takes calcium carbonate 600 mg TID. Her significant other was notified and is on their way to the ED. During her time in the ED, the client receives pharmacologic interventions based on her condition. At 1120, the nurse reassesses the client’s pain. The nurse finds the client lethargic with a respiratory rate of 10 breaths/min. What are the next two interventions the nurse should take?
