護理師接到醫師電話指示(Telephone Order),優先採取何項措施?
A nurse receives a phone call from a healthcare provider with a telephone order. What is the nurse's priority action?
- AWrite the order down immediately立即將醫囑寫下來
- BAsk the provider to sign it later請醫師稍後簽署
- CPerform the order immediately立即執行醫囑
- DRead back the order to the provider✓ 正解向提供者覆誦醫囑
電話醫囑(Telephone Order)因缺乏書面確認,極易因聽力或溝通誤解造成醫療錯誤。根據病人安全目標(National Patient Safety Goals),護理師執行電話醫囑時必須嚴格遵循「Read-back」原則,即將聽到的醫囑完整複誦給醫師確認,確保雙方對藥物劑量、頻率與途徑達成共識。此舉是為了在執行前進行最後一道安全把關,預防給藥錯誤。
Telephone orders, lacking written confirmation, are highly susceptible to errors due to mishearing or miscommunication. According to the National Patient Safety Goals, when carrying out a telephone order the nurse must strictly follow the 'read-back' principle, repeating the entire order to the provider for confirmation so that both parties agree on the medication, dose, frequency, and route. This is a final safety check before execution and helps prevent medication errors.
在美國臨床實務中,對於 Telephone Order 的管控極嚴,部分機構甚至禁止接受電話醫囑,僅允許在緊急情況下使用。一旦接收,必須嚴格遵守 Read-back 並由醫師在指定時間內(通常為 24 小時)完成線上簽署(Electronic Co-signature)。
