護理師督導 LPN 照護高血壓病人,何種行動需要介入?
A nurse is supervising an LPN/LVN who is caring for a client with hypertension. Which action by the LPN/LVN requires the nurse to intervene?
- APlanning the client's discharge education for home monitoring✓ 正解規劃病人居家監測的出院衛教
- BAdministering the scheduled dose of lisinopril給予定時的 lisinopril 劑量
- CAssessing the client's blood pressure prior to medication administration給藥前評估病人的血壓
- DInstructing the client on a low-sodium diet指導病人低鈉飲食
護理指派(Delegation)必須符合護理師執業範疇(Scope of Practice)。LPN/LVN 可以執行常規護理程序,如給藥、監測生命徵象和基礎衛教;然而,護理計畫(Nursing Care Plan)的制定、評估(Assessment)與出院規劃(Discharge Planning)屬於 RN 的專屬核心職責,因為這些任務需要高度的批判性思考與個案管理整合能力。
Discharge planning requires the comprehensive assessment and critical thinking skills of a registered nurse and is outside the scope of practice for an LPN/LVN. While LPNs can administer medications, monitor vital signs, and provide basic dietary instruction, the development of the care plan and discharge education oversight must remain with the RN.
在美國,LPN/LVN 的教育與執業範疇與 RN 有明確法律界定。在台灣,護理師與護士在臨床分工上界線相對模糊,但依據護理人員法,複雜的照護計畫與決策仍由護理師負責。
