約束(Restraints)是為了病人安全而採取的最後手段,其潛在風險包括循環障礙、神經損傷、皮膚壓瘡與肌肉攣縮。護理師的核心責任是監測約束的安全性。必須執行定期的神經血管評估(Neurovascular assessment),包括檢查遠端脈搏、膚色、溫度與感覺,以確保約束未過度壓迫導致組織缺血。
The nurse's primary responsibility when applying restraints is to frequently assess skin integrity and neurovascular status to prevent complications such as pressure ulcers, nerve damage, and impaired circulation.
