針對失智症遊走,優先考慮非侵入性的安全策略。將病人安置於護理站旁(近處監測)可提升觀察力並給予安全感,減少病人獨處造成的焦慮。約束與藥物均為最後手段,僅在嚴重影響安全時使用;劇烈運動在夜間會使病人更興奮,不利於休息。
For wandering in dementia, non-invasive safety strategies are preferred. Placing the client in a room near the nurses' station enhances observation and provides a sense of security, reducing the anxiety associated with being alone. Restraints and medications are last-resort options, used only when safety is severely compromised. Vigorous exercise at night increases agitation and is detrimental to rest.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國護理機構極度重視「限制約束」(Restraint reduction)政策;台灣在長照或急性病房,對於約束仍需醫師開立醫囑,執行規範嚴謹。
