憂鬱症照護中,安全永遠是最高原則(ABC 原則)。當病人表達絕望感且有自殺計畫時,代表其存在立即性的生命威脅,護理師須立即啟動自殺防範措施。其他症狀(失眠、興趣減退、注意力不集中)雖是憂鬱症的常見臨床表現,但優先級低於自殺風險評估。
Safety is the highest priority in nursing care; therefore, statements of hopelessness combined with a specific suicide plan represent an immediate life-threatening emergency. The nurse must initiate suicide precautions immediately, whereas other symptoms like difficulty concentrating or loss of interest, while significant, do not pose an imminent risk to life.

台美皆採取自殺風險篩檢(如PHQ-9);在美國,護理師具備高度自主權啟動自殺防護觀察,台灣則需醫師醫囑同步確認。
