一位患有慢性疼痛的病人，哪種疼痛管理方法最為適當？
A nurse is caring for a client with a history of chronic pain. What is the most appropriate approach to pain management?
- AProvide pain medication on a scheduled basis✓ 正解按時程給予止痛藥物
- BWait for the pain to reach a 7/10 before giving medication等待疼痛達到 7/10 再給予藥物
- CAdminister pain medication only when requested僅在病人要求時給予止痛藥物
- DRely solely on non-pharmacological interventions完全依賴非藥物介入
慢性疼痛（Chronic pain）的照護核心在於維持血中藥物濃度恆定，以達到持續性的疼痛緩解。按時給藥（Scheduled basis）能預防疼痛突破（Breakthrough pain），避免病人處於疼痛循環中，進而提升生活品質。等待疼痛發作才給藥會增加病人的焦慮感，且藥物需要更長時間才能達到有效鎮痛濃度，不利於慢性疼痛的長期控制。
The core of caring for chronic pain is maintaining a stable plasma drug concentration to achieve sustained pain relief. Administering medications on a scheduled basis prevents breakthrough pain, avoids placing the client in a recurring pain cycle, and thereby improves quality of life. Waiting until pain occurs before administering medication increases the client's anxiety, and the drug requires a longer time to reach an effective analgesic concentration, which is detrimental to the long-term management of chronic pain.
