看護学のコア解説
この問題は、小児のてんかん重積状態 (Pediatric Status Epilepticus)における、緊急時の優先看護介入 (Priority Nursing Intervention in Emergency)を問うています。
正解の根拠 (Answer Rationale)
国際的な治療ガイドラインでは、てんかん重積状態の初期治療(発症5〜10分以内)として、静脈内投与によるベンゾジアゼピン系薬剤 (IV Benzodiazepines)が第一選択です。選択肢②の「静脈路を確保し、IVロラゼパムの投与準備をする (Establish IV access and prepare to administer IV lorazepam)」は、この原則に完全に合致します。ロラゼパムは作用発現が速く、効果持続時間が比較的長いため、初期治療に適しています。
