Answer:
"Ineffective individual coping related to reluctance to seek care"
Explanation:
We are often afraid to seek medical attention when we find something in our body that should not be there. However, this fear must be overcome so that our health is not compromised. Often this fear is generated by a self diagnosis, where we are sure that we have a disease, such as the woman exposed in the above question who was sure she had a cancer but had not sought medical attention to have a diagnosis and a correct treatment. In the case of this woman, the most appropriate nursing diagnosis would be "Ineffective individual coping related to reluctance to seek care".
