4. Grieving

Rationale:
A pregnant mother, no matter how early, sees the fetus as a baby and can be expected to grieve the loss. Since the mother has already lost the fetus, anxiety is not the primary diagnosis. Until the nurse is able to assess the mother's grief process, ineffective coping and interrupted family processes are not the priority diagnoses.
