Which of the following gravid clients is most appropriate for a charge nurse to assign to a new nurse with no obstetric (OB) experience?

A. 32-week patient with preeclampsia receiving magnesium sulfate – Magnesium sulfate requires close monitoring for toxicity (e.g., respiratory depression, loss of deep tendon reflexes), making this client inappropriate for a nurse with no OB experience. B. 9-week client with hyperemesis receiving IV therapy – This client is the most stable and requires routine care, such as IV fluid administration and antiemetics, making them the best assignment for a new nurse without OB experience. C. 34-week client with no fetal heartbeat – This client requires significant emotional support and possibly induction of labor, making them inappropriate for a nurse unfamiliar with OB care. D. 38-week client with complete previa – Placenta previa poses a high risk for hemorrhage, and this client requires close monitoring. A new nurse without OB experience would not be the best choice for this assignment.
