A charge nurse is creating assignments for the next shift for several nurses and one of the nurses is pregnant. Which of the following clients should the charge nurse assign to a nurse who is not pregnant?

A. A wall suction setting of 60 mm Hg is within the expected range for low intermittent suction. This indicates the NG tube is likely functioning appropriately in terms of suction pressure.

B. Greenish-yellow drainage is an expected finding and reflects bile-stained gastric contents. This suggests the NG tube is effectively removing gastric secretions.

C. An aspirate pH of 3 is acidic and consistent with gastric placement of the NG tube. This finding supports proper tube positioning and function.

D. Abdominal rigidity may indicate that gastric contents are not being adequately decompressed, suggesting the NG tube is obstructed or not functioning properly. This is an abnormal and concerning finding requiring immediate attention.

A. Performing another internal exam is not the priority at this moment. The priority is assessing fetal well-being.

B. Notifying the client's provider may be necessary, but it is not the immediate priority.

C. Checking the fetal heart rate (FHR) is the priority action to assess fetal well-being after the observed fluid gush, as it could indicate rupture of membranes and potentially fetal distress.

D. Obtaining a pH test of the fluid can be done later for confirmation of rupture of membranes but is not the immediate priority compared to assessing fetal well-being.
