— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
譫妄病人需要的是提供定向感與環境結構。透過頻繁的定向感連結(Reorientation)與維持規律作息,可減少混亂。光線昏暗(D)可能導致視幻覺加劇;限制訪客(B)若缺乏支持可能會增加孤立感;鎮靜劑(C)應謹慎使用,以免惡化認知功能。
Frequent reorientation helps the client maintain contact with reality and reduces confusion associated with delirium. Providing a structured environment supports this process, whereas dim lighting or unnecessary sedation can worsen symptoms.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國推行預防譫妄的 HELP 計畫(Hospital Elder Life Program);台灣臨床常以約束作為管理譫妄激躁的首選,需反思。
