護理師在外科病房進行護理優先序評估,哪位病人應優先處理?
A nurse is prioritizing care on a surgical unit. Which client should the nurse assess first?
- AA client requesting assistance with ambulation for the first time首次請求協助下床活動的病人
- BA client scheduled for discharge with a stable wound dressing傷口敷料穩定且安排出院的病人
- CA client 2 days postoperative who reports pain of 4/10術後第2天報告疼痛程度為4/10的病人
- DA client with a new onset of sudden shortness of breath and tachycardia✓ 正解新發作突發性呼吸困難與心搏過速的病人
核心概念:護理優先序評估(Prioritization of Care)。 為何正確答案對: D. 病人出現突發性呼吸急促(Sudden shortness of breath)和心搏過速(Tachycardia)是潛在危及生命的緊急狀況,可能與肺栓塞(Pulmonary embolism)、急性心臟衰竭惡化、嚴重過敏反應等有關。根據 ABC(Airway, Breathing, Circulation)原則,呼吸問題(Breathing)優先於循環問題(Circulation)和非緊急情況,因此這位病人應優先接受評估。 為何其他選項錯: A. 術後兩天、疼痛評分 4/10 的病人,其疼痛雖需處理,但相對而言,呼吸急促合併心搏過速的病人生命威脅更大。 C. 即將出院且傷口敷料穩定的病人,其照護優先級最低。 D. 首次協助病人下床活動,雖然需要護理師的指導與支持,但其緊急程度低於出現呼吸窘迫的病人。
The nurse must prioritize the client with sudden shortness of breath and tachycardia, as these are signs of a potentially life-threatening condition like pulmonary embolism. According to ABC principles, airway and breathing issues take precedence over pain management, discharge planning, or routine ambulation assistance.
