The nurse is taking care of a client who has an NG tube to continuous low suction. The nursing assistant reports that the client has vomited 100 mL of light yellow-greenish fluid. It is most important for the nurse to initially:
a. check the medication record for an antiemetic.
b. check NG tube placement.
c. add the emesis to the total output for the shift.
d. ask the client whether the desire to vomit has stopped.
