護理師發現給藥錯誤,一位病人被注射了兩倍劑量的胰島素。優先採取的措施為何?
A nurse discovers a medication error where a client received double the prescribed dose of insulin. What is the priority action?
- ANotify the nurse manager通知護理長
- BFile an incident report immediately立即填寫事故報告
- CCall the physician to report the error致電醫師報告錯誤
- DAssess the client's blood glucose and monitor for hypoglycemia✓ 正解評估病人血糖並監測低血糖
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
給藥錯誤發生時,首要任務永遠是「病人安全(Patient Safety)」。護理師必須立即評估病人的生理狀況,胰島素過量恐引發致命性的低血糖,因此優先監測血糖並準備好葡萄糖補充方案是救命關鍵。事故報告與通知上級是屬於後續的風險管理程序,雖然重要但絕不能凌駕於緊急的病人評估與處置之上。這是 NCLEX 考試中典型的「優先順序(Priority)」題型。
The priority action is to assess the client’s blood glucose level and monitor for signs of hypoglycemia, as patient safety is paramount following a medication error. While reporting the incident is necessary, immediate physiological assessment and intervention take precedence.
✦ 台美臨床差異
在美國醫院,給藥錯誤發生後的「無責文化(Just Culture)」鼓勵護理師主動回報,重點在於流程改進而非懲罰,與台灣部分醫療環境的責備文化有顯著不同。
