IMO A.

B - 'one nurse at least to be assigned' is incorrect.

C - ' ensure at least' should have been 'ensure that at least'

D - 'ensuring that at least one nurse should be assigned' is incorrect. using both 'ensuring that' and 'should be' results in an awkward sounding phrase.

E - 'one nurse at least' is incorrect.
