The presence of a white, odorless discharge is a normal finding during pregnancy due to increased vaginal secretions. The nurse should document the findings as normal and reassure the client that this is a common occurrence during pregnancy. Options A and B may be appropriate if the client expressed any concerns or symptoms, but this is not indicated in the scenario. Option C is not necessary unless the discharge is abnormal or accompanied by other symptoms.
