護理師正在照顧多位病人。下列哪位病人應優先護理？
A nurse is managing the care of multiple clients. Which client should the nurse see first?
- AA client with a scheduled dressing change for a surgical incision一位外科切口scheduled換藥的病人
- BA client with type 1 diabetes requesting a snack一位第一型糖尿病要求點心的病人
- CA client with chronic hypertension requesting an update on test results一位慢性高血壓要求更新檢驗結果的病人
- DA client with COPD reporting a sudden increase in dyspnea✓ 正解一位慢性阻塞性肺病報告呼吸困難突然加劇的病人
護理師優先級排序遵循 ABC 原則（Airway, Breathing, Circulation）。COPD 病人出現呼吸困難加劇（Sudden increase in dyspnea），可能暗示急性呼吸衰竭、氣胸或肺栓塞等生命威脅，必須優先評估與處理。其他選項如糖尿病病人要點心、常規傷口換藥、詢問檢驗結果，雖是照護內容，但皆不具備生命威脅性，屬於可後續安排的任務。
Nursing prioritization follows the ABC principle (Airway, Breathing, Circulation). A COPD client with a sudden increase in dyspnea may be experiencing life-threatening events such as acute respiratory failure, pneumothorax, or pulmonary embolism, and must be assessed and managed first. The other options, such as a diabetic client requesting a snack, a scheduled dressing change, or a request for test results, are appropriate components of care but do not pose immediate threats to life and can be addressed later.
