The nurse is caring for a 25-year-old female patient who is receiving chorionic gonadotropin alfa. What would be an appropriate nursing diagnosis for this patient?
A) Anxiety related to injection of medication
B) Acute pain related to need for injections
C) Imbalanced nutrition: More than body requirements
D) Evaluate effectiveness of the teaching plan
B
Feedback:
Nursing diagnoses related to drug therapy might include acute pain related to need for injections. Not all patients are anxious at the thought of an injection so more information would be needed. The patient is more likely to have reduced nutritional intake because of gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects. Evaluating the effectiveness of the teaching plan is not a nursing diagnosis.
