- ATurn on the lights before it gets dark✓ 正解在天黑前打開燈光
- BProvide a complex activity to keep the client busy提供複雜的活動讓病人打發時間
- CMaintain a consistent daily routine✓ 正解維持一致的每日作息
- DLimit caffeine intake in the afternoon✓ 正解限制下午攝取咖啡因
- EMinimize noise and clutter in the environment✓ 正解減少環境中的噪音和雜物
管理日落症候群的重點是減少混亂與過度刺激。提前開燈(A)可減少陰影產生的幻覺;維持常規(C)可增加安全感;限用咖啡因(D)可預防睡眠干擾;減少噪音(E)可降低焦慮。複雜活動(B)會增加病人的挫折感與負擔,反而加劇躁動。
The key to managing sundowning is to reduce confusion and overstimulation. Turning on the lights before dark (A) reduces shadows that may be misinterpreted as hallucinations; maintaining a consistent routine (C) increases the client's sense of security; limiting caffeine (D) prevents sleep disturbance; and minimizing noise (E) decreases anxiety. Complex activities (B) increase frustration and cognitive burden, which actually worsen agitation.
美國長期照護非常強調「無藥物介入」(Non-pharmacological intervention)優先;台灣則較常使用抗精神病藥物輔助控制。
