護佐(UAP)的工作範圍包含協助基本的生理測量與生活照顧。記錄出入量(I/O)屬於常規測量範疇,由 UAP 執行合乎護理授權法規。至於衛教、評估傷口整合性及給藥,皆屬於專業護理評估或給藥程序,必須由註冊護理師(RN)執行,不可委派。
The scope of practice for Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) includes assisting with basic physiologic measurements and activities of daily living. Recording intake and output (I/O) is a routine measurement task, and having a UAP perform it is consistent with nursing delegation regulations. Client teaching, evaluation of wound integrity, and medication administration all involve professional nursing assessment or the medication-administration process and must be performed by a Registered Nurse (RN); they may not be delegated.
美國 UAP 訓練範疇明確;台灣護理照護員(照服員)協助生活起居,給藥與專業評估均嚴格由護理師執行。
