Help with Nursing Diagnosis please

hi everyone,

I had a female patient in Labor and Deliver. she is g2p1. she originally planned to have vag delivery but 3 weeks ago they discovered a aneurism behind her eye. needless to say she went with elective c-section. she was very fearful of the whole procedure prior to the c-section. shaking uncontrollably and asking many questions.her doctors told her that they are doing a c-section bc if she does a vag she will put stress on the aneurism and complications would follow. she verbalized her fear that something could go wrong with the delivery or something might happen to baby. everything worked out and i held her hand during the whole procedure with her husband. what do you guys think about this Nx:

Fear r/t unplanned c-section with possible risk of further complications with aneursim

thanks in advance

Daniel

hi thanks for the advice, sorry i didn't give u full details. i managed to figure it out and i'm happy with the result. Our nprs don't require AEBs bc we list all symptoms related to the issue. thanks again for responding.

I don't think you can use c-section or aneurism because they are are medical terms. Also, fear over c-section can be a diagnosis because it is a natural thing to be afraid of surgery so it doesn't warrent a diagnosis... at least thats what I have been taught... I may be wrong though
