護理師在內外科病房進行優先級排序，哪位病人應優先處理？
A nurse is working on a medical-surgical unit and is prioritizing patient care. Which client should the nurse see first?
- AA client with a new onset of sudden confusion✓ 正解新發突然意識混亂的病人
- BA client asking for help with ambulation to the bathroom請求協助步行至洗手間的病人
- CA client with type 2 diabetes requesting a meal tray要求用餐盤的第二型糖尿病病人
- DA client with a scheduled dressing change for a surgical incision預約進行手術切口敷料更換的病人
護理優先級排序應遵循 ABC 原則（Airway, Breathing, Circulation）與「急性優先於慢性」原則。突然意識混亂（New onset confusion）是神經學功能改變的警訊，可能代表腦部缺氧、敗血症、代謝性腦病變或電解質紊亂，屬於急性高風險狀況，必須優先評估與處理。其他選項皆屬於常規照護，不具有立即生命威脅。
Nursing prioritization should follow the ABC principle (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) and the rule that 'acute takes precedence over chronic.' New onset of sudden confusion is a warning sign of altered neurological function and may indicate cerebral hypoxia, sepsis, metabolic encephalopathy, or electrolyte derangement; it is an acute high-risk situation that must be assessed and managed first. The other options are routine care and do not pose immediate threats to life.
