Answer:

Comprehensive

Explanation:

This client presents with a new problem and the nurse should perform a comprehensive assessment. Chest pain is an emergent problem but the client is has stable vital signs and no chest pain so an emergency assessment is not indicated at this time. A partial or focused assessment would not allow collection of enough data to properly complete diagnose the cause of a new problem.
