一位護理師正在為一位臨終病人提供照護。哪項護理措施最重要？
A nurse is providing end-of-life care for a client. Which nursing action is most important?
- AAggressively treating all symptoms to prolong life.積極治療所有症狀以延長生命
- BFocusing on comfort and symptom management.✓ 正解著重於舒適照護與症狀管理
- CPerforming all procedures exactly as done during curative care.完全按照治療期間的方式執行所有處置
- DEncouraging the client to eat large meals.鼓勵病人攝取大量餐點
臨終照護（End-of-life care）的核心目標是緩和醫療（Palliative Care），即「舒適與尊嚴」。當疾病進展至不可逆階段，護理重點從「治癒（Curative）」轉向「減輕痛苦（Comfort measures）」。這包括積極處理疼痛、呼吸困難、焦慮等症狀，而非繼續執行可能增加病人負擔的檢查或積極治療，目的在於讓病人在舒適的環境中度過餘生。
The core goal of end-of-life care is palliative care — that is, "comfort and dignity." When the disease progresses to an irreversible stage, nursing focus shifts from curative measures to comfort measures aimed at alleviating suffering. This includes active management of pain, dyspnea, anxiety, and other symptoms, rather than continuing investigations or aggressive treatments that may impose additional burden on the patient, so that the patient may live out their remaining days in a comfortable environment.
