문제
A charge nurse is implementing the START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) system during a mass casualty incident at a local hospital. Which patient should receive the highest priority for immediate treatment?
1A 45-year-old male who is walking and complaining of severe back pain, with stable vital signs
2A 30-year-old female who is unconscious, not breathing, and has no palpable pulse
3A 25-year-old male with multiple lacerations who is alert and oriented but bleeding moderately
4A 35-year-old female with compromised airway, rapid breathing at 35/min, and weak pulse✓ 정답
해설
In START triage, the patient with compromised airway, rapid respirations (35/min), and weak pulse is immediate (red) due to severe respiratory distress requiring urgent airway management. Other patients have lower priority: walking wounded (green/minor), unconscious/apneic (black/expectant), or moderate bleeding (yellow/delayed).
相關概念整理 (Related Concepts):除了START,護理師也需了解其他檢傷系統,如急診室的五級檢傷(台灣常用),以及用於兒童的JumpSTART系統。大規模傷患事件的管理原則是「為最多數人做最大的善 (Doing the greatest good for the greatest number)」,這與日常「一人一護理」的優先順序思維不同。 概念整理:START檢傷顏色標籤與處置優先順序:紅色(立即) > 黃色(延遲) > 綠色(輕傷) > 黑色(死亡/預期性)。 一眼看懂!比較表
