A patient is on bed rest and reports feeling anxious and wants to get up early. As part of basic care, what should the nurse encourage?

1. Let the patient get up and walk around unsupervised to relieve the anxiety promptly
2. Range-of-motion, repositioning, deep breathing, explain the rest, ease anxiety
3. Ignore the anxiety because it is purely psychological and not a physical care need
4. Tell them they must stay in bed and leave the room without any further explanation
