一位加護病房護理師在病患的給藥記錄單上發現了一個錯誤。該護理師施打了 50 mg 的 Metoprolol,而非處方的 25 mg。病患的心跳短暫下降至 52 次/分,但目前穩定在 65 次/分,血壓 110/70 mmHg。在通知醫師後,護理師準備對此事件進行記錄。下列哪一項紀錄方式明確違反了關於醫療病歷填寫的風險管理標準?
An intensive care nurse discovers an error on a client's medication administration record. The nurse administered 50 mg of Metoprolol instead of the prescribed 25 mg. The client's heart rate briefly dropped to 52 bpm but is now stable at 65 bpm with a BP of 110/70 mmHg. After notifying the physician, the nurse prepares to document the incident. Which documentation explicitly violates risk management standards regarding medical records?
- A“0900: Metoprolol 50 mg administered PO. 0930: HR 52 bpm, BP 105/65, Dr. Smith notified.”「0900:經口服給予 Metoprolol 50 mg。0930:HR 52 bpm,BP 105/65,已通知 Dr. Smith。」
- B“1000: Client resting comfortably. Current vital signs BP 110/70, HR 65. The physician provided no new orders to intervene.”「1000:個案安靜休息。目前生命徵象 BP 110/70,HR 65。醫師未提供新的干預醫囑。」
- C“0930: Monitored the client's vital signs every 15 minutes after administering 50 mg Metoprolol. No current signs of cardiopulmonary distress observed.”「0930:給予 Metoprolol 50 mg 後每 15 分鐘監測個案生命徵象。目前未觀察到心肺窘迫跡象。」
- D“0900: Client received 50 mg of Metoprolol by mistake instead of 25 mg. Incident report #1234 filed with the risk management department.”✓ 正解「0900:個案因錯誤接受了 50 mg Metoprolol 而非 25 mg。已向風險管理部提交事故報告 #1234。」
本題再次強化風險管理與醫療紀錄的鐵律 (Incident Reports / Legal Liability)。這是一個高頻考點的變體。當發生給藥錯誤(Medication Error)時,護理師的官方病歷(Client's Medical Record)應該只用來忠實且客觀地記錄:給了什麼藥、給了多少劑量、病患當下的生命徵象反應,以及醫師被通知後的處置措施。絕佳的做法是寫下客觀事實(如同 A、C、B 選項)。但是,風險管理的最高禁忌就是:『在病人的官方病歷上寫出「我犯了錯 (by mistake)」,更不能寫上「已完成/提交了異常事件通報單 (Incident report filed)」』。這份異常事件報告是醫院內部的專屬機密文件,一旦你在公開可被法院傳喚的病歷中提到它,律師便能強行將其變為不利於醫院的公開呈堂證供。因此選項 D 嚴重違反了風險管理的保密機制防線。
The client's medical record must contain only objective facts regarding the medication error, such as the dose administered and the client's response. Documenting that an incident report was filed violates risk management protocols, as these reports are confidential internal documents and should never appear in the legal medical record.
醫療事故後的雙軌紀錄 (Dual tracking)。病歷寫客觀事實 (給了多少),內部通報寫檢討報告 (發生甚麼疏失)。絕不跨界提及,以免法律糾紛擴大。台美通用核心法律題。
