A client diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection tells the nurse that she has "no idea" how she contracted the illness
The nurse realizes that which of the following nursing diagnoses would be appropriate for the client at this time? 1. Deficient Knowledge
2. Sexual Dysfunction
3. Ineffective Coping
4. Anxiety
1. Deficit Knowledge
Rationale:
The client states that she has no idea how she contracted the illness. This would indicate a deficit in knowledge regarding the transmission of sexually transmitted illnesses. There is not enough information to determine if the client has sexual dysfunction, ineffective coping, or anxiety.
