C
NANDA International defines Anxiety as a vague, uneasy feeling of discomfort or dread accompanied by an autonomic response. This patient is most likely experiencing anxiety. Anger is not a nursing diagnosis. Fear, which is also a nursing diagnosis, is an emotion or feeling of apprehension from an identified danger, threat, or pain. Hopelessness is a nursing diagnosis defined as a state in which the patient sees few or no available alternatives and cannot mobilize energy on his own behalf.
