護理師照顧一位簽署 DNR(不施行心肺復甦術)的病人,病人突發呼吸停止。護理師的首要行動為何?

A nurse is caring for a client with a DNR order. The client stops breathing. What is the nurse's priority action?

  • AContact the family to confirm the wishes
    聯絡家屬以確認其意願
  • BAssess for a carotid pulse✓ 正解
    評估頸動脈脈搏
  • CProvide comfort care and ensure a peaceful environment
    提供舒適護理並確保安靜的環境
  • DCall the code team immediately
    立即呼叫急救團隊
Explanation · 中文詳解

即使病人持有 DNR 指令,護理師仍必須確認臨床狀況(如脈搏是否存在),以確認確實為死亡過程而非單純的呼吸暫停或氣道阻塞。先評估(Assess)後確認意願,確保 DNR 執行程序合法合規。直接啟動急救(Code)違背 DNR 意願,不評估直接放棄則可能錯失急救良機。

Even with a DNR order, the nurse must first assess for a carotid pulse to clinically confirm cardiac arrest and distinguish it from respiratory issues. This assessment ensures that the DNR is being followed correctly without initiating unauthorized resuscitation efforts.

✦ 台美臨床差異

台灣 DNR 執行須符合安寧緩和醫療條例,護理師需確認醫囑有效性;美國 DNR 法律效力在各州略有不同。
