護理師督導 UAP 的病人安全實作，哪項發現需要立即介入矯正？
A nurse is supervising UAP on patient safety. Which finding requires corrective action?
- AUAP leaves the side rails down after assisting a high-fall-risk client✓ 正解協助高跌倒風險病人後，將床欄放下
- BUAP reports a significant change in client vital signs回報病人生命徵象的顯著變化
- CUAP asks for help when turning a heavy client在搬動沉重病人時請求協助
- DUAP washes hands before and after client contact在接觸病人前後洗手
護理師在督導輔助人員（UAP）時，必須確保所有病人安全措施皆落實。跌倒預防是醫療品質指標（Quality Indicators）的重要環節。對於高跌倒風險（High-fall-risk）病人，床欄（Side rails）是保護其不墜床的關鍵防護措施，未升起床欄直接導致病人暴露在高度跌倒風險中，屬於嚴重的安全缺失。護理師作為團隊領導者，對於任何危及病人安全的行為，必須採取「立即介入並矯正」的態度，確保病人處於安全環境。
Leaving side rails down for a client at high fall risk is a critical safety failure that requires immediate corrective action. Side rails are essential protective measures to prevent falls in vulnerable patients, and their absence exposes the client to significant danger. While reporting changes, asking for help, and practicing hand hygiene are appropriate behaviors, failing to implement basic fall precautions is a severe omission that the nurse must address immediately.
在美國，UAP（如 CNA 或 PCA）的權限與分工受嚴格規範，護理師對其工作表現負有法律上的督導責任（Delegation & Supervision）。護理師發現錯誤時，不僅要矯正行為，通常還需根據醫院政策填寫事件報告（Incident Report）。
