病人詢問為何他們被安置在單人病房,最好的回答是什麼?
A patient asks why they are in a private room. What is the best response?
- AIt is because we have many empty rooms因為我們有很多空房
- BIt is to protect other patients from your infection✓ 正解為了保護其他病人免受您的感染
- CIt is because you are paying extra因為您支付了額外費用
- DIt is to make you feel more comfortable為了讓您感覺更舒適
此題核心為感染控制中的「隔離原則」。單人病房(Private room)不僅是為了病人的隱私,在臨床上更主要的功能是作為物理屏障,以防止經由空氣、飛沫或接觸傳播的病原體散播至其他病人。護理師應提供誠實且具專業同理心的解釋,以減輕病人對於被隔離的焦慮感,同時強調這是基於預防感染的標準護理措施,而非懲罰或特殊待遇。
The core of this item is the 'isolation principle' in infection control. A private room is provided not only to protect patient privacy but, more importantly in the clinical setting, to act as a physical barrier preventing the spread of airborne, droplet-borne, or contact-borne pathogens to other patients. The nurse should provide an honest and professionally empathetic explanation to alleviate the patient's anxiety about being isolated, emphasizing that this is a standard infection-prevention nursing measure, not a punishment or special treatment.
