護理師正在照護一位愛迪生氏病（Addison's disease）病人。病人哪項陳述表明其對疾病管理的了解需要進一步教導？
A nurse is caring for a client with Addison's disease. Which client statement indicates a need for further teaching about managing the condition?
- A"I can stop taking my medication if I feel perfectly healthy."✓ 正解「如果我感覺完全健康，我可以停止服藥。」
- B"I need to increase my steroid dose if I get sick or have surgery."「如果我生病或需要手術，我需要增加類固醇劑量。」
- C"I should avoid activities that may cause significant stress."「我應該避免可能引起重大壓力的活動。」
- D"I should wear a medical alert bracelet."「我應該佩戴醫療警報手環。」
愛迪生氏病（Addison's disease）是因為腎上腺皮質激素分泌不足，需要長期補充類固醇治療。病人絕對不能自行停藥，即使感覺良好，因為體內腎上腺無法自行分泌足夠激素，停藥可能引發危及生命的愛迪生氏危機（Addisonian crisis）。教導病人正確的用藥觀念、在壓力或生病時需調整劑量，以及攜帶醫療識別手環，是預防併發症的關鍵衛教內容。
Addison's disease results from insufficient secretion of adrenocortical hormones and requires long-term steroid replacement therapy. The client must never discontinue medication on their own, even when feeling well, because the adrenal glands cannot produce adequate hormones on their own; cessation may precipitate a life-threatening Addisonian crisis. Teaching the client about correct medication use, dose adjustments during stress or illness, and wearing a medical alert bracelet are key educational elements for preventing complications.
