Solution

The answer is: malaise.

Explanation for each option:

Nausea: This term refers to the feeling of wanting to vomit. It is not a general feeling of not being well.
Letharg: This seems to be a misspelling of "lethargy," which refers to a state of sluggishness, inactivity, and apathy. While it can be a symptom of not feeling well, it is more specific to a lack of energy.
Malaise: This term accurately describes a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or unease whose exact cause is difficult to identify. It fits the description of the client's symptoms.
Spasins: This appears to be a misspelling of "spasms," which are sudden, involuntary muscle contractions. This does not match the client's description of "just not feeling well."

Summary: The nurse recognizes the client's feeling of "just not feeling well" as malaise, which is a general sense of discomfort or unease.
