A hospitalized toddler-age client needs to have an IV restarted. The child begins to cry when carried into the treatment room by the mother. Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate?
1. Ineffective Individual Coping Related to an Invasive Procedure
2. Anxiety Related to Anticipated Painful Procedure
3. Fear Related to the Unfamiliar Environment
4. Knowledge Deficit of the Procedure
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: At this age, the child is not old enough to understand the need for an IV infusion. The stem indicates that the child has been through this painful procedure before, and his reaction to entering the treatment room is based on anticipation of repeat discomfort. The child's behavior is appropriate for a child of this age.
