針對一位頸椎 C4 受損的脊髓損傷(SCI)病人,哪項護理措施最重要?
Which intervention is most important for a client with a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) at the level of C4?
- AManage bladder function管理膀胱功能
- BSkin care to prevent ulcers皮膚護理以預防潰瘍
- CPerform passive ROM exercises執行被動關節活動範圍運動
- DMonitor respiratory status✓ 正解監測呼吸狀態
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
C4 損傷會影響橫膈神經(Phrenic nerve)功能,導致呼吸衰竭。呼吸功能直接關係到病人的存活,為最高優先級。膀胱功能、關節活動與皮膚照護雖為長期護理核心,但在急性期均需在病人呼吸穩定後才能進行。
Monitoring respiratory status is the highest priority because a C4 spinal cord injury compromises the phrenic nerve, which controls the diaphragm, potentially leading to respiratory failure. While bladder care and skin integrity are important, airway and breathing take precedence in the acute phase of care.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國 SCI 病人常入住專門的脊髓損傷復健中心;台灣則多在急性醫院處理後轉至復健科,銜接重點一致。
