2. Impaired Gas Exchange.

Rationale:
The decrease in oxygen saturation is causing an impairment in the client's gas exchange. Anxiety could be contributing to the impaired gas exchange, but interventions should be focused on addressing the client's impaired gas exchange at this time. Decreased oxygen saturation and anxiety would not be addressed with the diagnoses of ineffective tissue perfusion and pain.
