— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
護理專業人員具有舉報違法及不安全行為的義務。挪用管制藥品(drug diversion)危害病人安全且涉及法律問題,不可私下處理或選擇性忽視。必須遵循機構的通報流程,直接向護理主管或適當的行政層級反映,以保障病人的照護品質。
Nurses have an obligation to report illegal and unsafe behavior. Diverting controlled substances endangers patient safety and is a legal issue—it cannot be handled privately or selectively ignored. The nurse must follow institutional reporting procedures and notify the nurse manager or appropriate administrative level to safeguard the quality of patient care.
