護理師正在教導病人有關預防兒童意外中毒。何種措施最重要?
A nurse is educating a client about preventing accidental poisoning in children. Which measure is most important?
- AEnsuring children do not have access to poisonous plants.確保兒童無法接觸有毒植物
- BEducating children about the dangers of poisons.教育兒童關於毒物的危險
- CStoring all cleaning products in a high cabinet.✓ 正解將所有清潔產品存放在高處的櫃子裡
- DKeeping medications in their original containers.將藥物保存在原容器中
預防兒童中毒的最高原則是「物理屏障(Physical barrier)」。兒童的好奇心強,且無法辨識危險物質,將清潔用品或藥物存放在高處或鎖好的櫃子裡,是預防意外中毒最直接且有效的手段。其他選項雖為輔助,但無法取代物理隔離的重要性。護理師應衛教父母,不要依賴兒童「聽話」或「懂事」,因為意外通常發生在瞬間。
The most important principle for preventing pediatric poisoning is the use of a physical barrier. Children are highly curious and cannot recognize dangerous substances; storing cleaning products or medications in a high or locked cabinet is the most direct and effective means of preventing accidental poisoning. The other options are supportive measures but cannot replace the importance of physical separation. The nurse should teach parents not to rely on a child being 'obedient' or 'sensible,' because accidents typically occur in an instant.
