護理師照護一位疑似肺栓塞的病人。優先的護理處置為何？

肺栓塞導致血氧過低與呼吸窘迫，第一優先級別為 ABC 中的呼吸（Breathing），給氧是改善低血氧的最直接措施。建立 IV 通路、胸部 X 光檢查與心電圖均重要，但必須在確保呼吸穩定之後才依序進行。

The priority nursing intervention for a client with a suspected pulmonary embolism is to administer oxygen, as hypoxemia is the most immediate life-threatening concern. While diagnostic tests like ECGs and chest X-rays are necessary, they do not address the acute respiratory distress. Establishing IV access is important but secondary to ensuring adequate oxygenation and breathing stability.

肺栓塞在美台臨床皆視為緊急危重症，護理流程皆要求快速啟動緊急醫療應變小組。
