護理師正在收納一位有中風症狀的病人,其格拉斯哥昏迷指數(GCS)為 8。下列哪項措施最恰當?
A nurse is admitting a client with symptoms of a stroke. The client's Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is 8. Which intervention is MOST appropriate for this client?
- AEncourage the client to drink fluids鼓勵病人攝取液體
- BAdminister pain medication給予止痛藥物
- CPlace the client in a supine position將病人置於仰臥姿勢
- DAssess the client's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC)✓ 正解評估病人的氣道、呼吸與循環(ABC)
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
GCS 評分為 8 或以下,表示病人意識嚴重受損,有氣道阻塞和吸入性肺炎的極高風險。護理師應優先確保病人的 ABC(氣道、呼吸、循環)暢通與穩定,可能需要氣管插管。其他措施在 ABC 穩定前均非首要。
A GCS score of 8 or below indicates severely impaired consciousness, with a very high risk of airway obstruction and aspiration pneumonia. The nurse should prioritize ensuring that the client's airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC) remain patent and stable; endotracheal intubation may be required. None of the other interventions take precedence before ABCs are stabilized.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國的急診與重症照護中,對 GCS ≤ 8 的病人有標準化的氣道保護流程;台灣的處理方式也相同,但可能因病人量和團隊溝通效率而有執行速度的差異。
