在忙碌的單位中,護理師應優先為哪位病人安置病房?
Which client should the nurse prioritize for room placement in a busy unit?
- AA client scheduled for discharge安排給預定出院的病人
- BA client with localized pain安排給有局部疼痛的病人
- CA client with a positive culture for C. difficile✓ 正解安排給艰难梭菌培養陽性的病人
- DA client with a non-infectious wound安排給有非感染性傷口的病人

在病房配置(Room placement)時,感染控制是護理優先級(Priority)的重點。困難梭狀芽孢桿菌(C. difficile)會產生芽孢,對環境抵抗力強,且具有高度傳染性,主要透過糞口途徑傳播。將其安置於單人房(Private room)或與相同病原體病人安置(Cohorting)是防止院內交叉感染的關鍵,符合安全護理原則。
Infection control is the primary consideration for room placement priorities. Clostridioides difficile produces spores that are highly resistant and contagious, requiring immediate isolation in a private room or cohorting with similar patients to prevent cross-infection.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國醫院對於 C. difficile 感染病人的清潔要求極為嚴格,通常需使用漂白水(Bleach)進行環境終末消毒,且護理師在執行照護後必須使用肥皂洗手(Soap and Water),因為酒精性乾洗手無法殺死芽孢。
