— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
在護理照護中,將任務委派給無執照輔助人員(UAP)時,護理師必須嚴格遵循委派的五個正確原則(5 Rights of Delegation):正確的任務、正確的環境、正確的人員、正確的指導與溝通、正確的監督與評估。UAP 的職責主要包括執行穩定病人的基本照護、測量生命徵象、協助活動、個人衛生等,但不能執行需要護理判斷、評估、教學或複雜護理技能的任務。對於有跌倒史的病人,護理師應委派 UAP 執行直接協助病人安全、且不涉及臨床判斷的任務,以確保病人安全同時維持護理品質。
Unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) should be instructed to remind the client to use the call light before getting up, as this is a safe, non-clinical task. Assessment, risk determination, and patient education require nursing judgment and are outside the scope of UAP responsibilities.
