The nursing diagnosis that would be the most appropriate to address concerns about the outcome of subfertility studies would be fear related to possible outcome. There is no information to support this patient having a knowledge deficit. The patient already had the testing so anxiety regarding these procedure processes would not be appropriate at this time. It is unknown if the patient will experience situational low self-esteem because the results of the fertility tests have not be disclosed to the patient.
