護理師照顧一位獨居的老年病人，其表現出營養不良且儀容不整。評估時最重要的一句話是什麼？
A nurse is caring for an elderly client who lives alone and appears malnourished and poorly groomed. Which question is most important to ask during the assessment?
- AAre you taking your medications as prescribed by your doctor?您是否按照醫師指示服藥？
- BHave you been feeling sad or hopeless lately?您最近是否感到悲傷或絕望？
- CWho helps you with your grocery shopping and daily chores?✓ 正解誰協助您購買 groceries 和處理日常家務？
- DCan you describe a typical day's worth of meals for you?您可以描述一下您典型一天的飲食嗎？
對於可能存在「自我忽視」（Self-neglect）或缺乏支持系統的老人，評估「社會支持系統」與「日常生活能力」（ADLs）的支持至關重要。選項 C 能直接探查其生活資源與支持網。D、B、A 雖也重要，但了解其生存基礎的支持（Who helps you）在跨專業轉介（如社工）中最具優先性。
For an older adult who may exhibit self-neglect or lack a support system, assessing the social support system and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) is critical. Option C directly explores the patient's living resources and support network. Although D, B, and A are also important, understanding the foundational support that enables the patient's daily living ("Who helps you") has the highest priority for interdisciplinary referral (for example, to social work).
