序還記得剛從護理師的身份轉換成資深護理師時的忐忑不安及無助感，認為自己與住院醫師們還有鴻溝般的差距…如何及時發現並評估患者問題、如何快速做出診斷、如何立即提供患者問題的治療方法…這些都是極大的壓力點。另外，在準備專科護理師筆試考時也是困難重重，只有歷年考題，沒有任何解析，記得當時還曾經去跟住院醫師借共筆來研讀，想到都記得當時的無奈。在聽聞外科加護病房的林怡岑專科護理師在製作專科護理師考生的參考書時，不禁心生佩服，這本書是她協同眾多的前輩們一起完成的著作，而現在因為生涯規劃的原因，她邀請我來接續承擔這項任務，期望這本參考書能繼續協助未來的學弟妹們準備專科護理師執照考，也能做為臨床工作之參考用書，在面臨問題時能夠快速翻閱並找到答案，這也是我們所期待以及努力的動力！！

序 韶光荏苒，感恩護理先進們的努力，讓臨床執業多年的資深護理師們終於柳暗花明，得以正名—『專科護理師』(Nurse Practitioner)。 專科護理師為進階護理師之一。近二十多年來，各大醫療院所不斷的將臨床護理師進一步培訓，以彌補住院醫師人力不足的缺口。從基層的護理師到專科護理師，必需要跨越一道很高的門檻；因為他不再只有依照醫囑做事來護理病患，仍需要隨時判讀病人的變化及密切與臨床醫療部門聯繫，提供病患及家屬高品質的照護。 現今，專科護理師已經合法化，執業也有法源依據。但是，要取得專科護理師的證照實在不容易。本書集結五年內之專科護理師通論考題及文獻精髓解析，讓閱讀者清楚明白命題委員的用心，每一題都與執業內容緊密連結，內容涵蓋的範圍都不跳脫臨床現況。依照專科護理師學會公告的通論考試範圍來編排，且在第三章品質管理及健康促進、第四章健康評估這兩篇章節中，又依臨床實務的應用細分成各系統章節，提供培訓中的專科護理師、臨床執業的專科護理師或是有心想要精進的臨床護理師主動學習的一個捷徑。 在我接受專科護理師的訓練過程當中，除了培訓期間的課室訓練，還必需要時常瀏覽國外的文獻期刊、參與醫學及護理相關的研討會、同時也要應付患者變化莫測的病況，唯恐生命消逝在彈指之間；這是苦痛又欣慰的回憶。但是，當病人的病況得以改善，且獲得醫療科的肯定時，內心的成就感是無法言喻的。 本書之完成，除了個人利用工作之餘以及捨棄部分的睡眠時間，還要感謝家人們的體諒及配合。期盼本書能對現在及未來的專科護理師們有所助益。 特此感謝慈濟大學護理系蔡娟秀副教授，協助本書之校閱，使得本書更臻完善。 &nbs

你是為了別人口中的意義而活，還是為了希望而活？想要誠實地活，為什麼必然荒謬？暢銷10年 名家楊照經典讀本認識諾貝爾文學獎得主、存在主義大師卡繆華文世界最重要的深度解析 為什麼要認識「勇敢到近乎自虐」的存在主義？為什麼到了今天，還需要讀卡繆？從《異鄉人》到「荒謬三部曲」，卡繆如何打破既有框架，詮解「荒謬」與「存在」，為現代人日復一日的荒謬日常樹立不朽的靈魂典範？存在主義是二十世紀最重要的哲學思潮之一，卡繆即為其中代表人物。相較於沙特的著作，卡繆以劇本、小說、論述等多重形式，開創別具一格的魅力，使他深深影響全世界一代又一代的讀者，風靡至今。從卡繆知名作品《異鄉人》來看，他的思想體系最想要呈現的，就是「荒謬」。人的「存在」，常會尋找各種藉口，讓自己懷抱希望活下去──人因自由而活著，但關進監牢的囚犯還是繼續活著；人因財富而活著，但一貧如洗還是繼續活著──因此，在卡繆的觀點中，懷抱希望而活就是「荒謬」而非「誠實」的生活態度。那麼，人有沒有可能不荒謬地活著？沒有了藉口、沒有了希望，還能忠於自己的靈魂而活？本書為台灣重要作家楊照評析卡繆的權威讀本，推出以來暢銷至今，全書以「荒謬三部曲」的《薛西弗斯的神話》、《異鄉人》、《卡利古拉》為主軸，從卡繆與存在主義崛起的歷史背景，到卡繆的荒誕人生，引領讀者一同進入「存在主義」的真正本質，是華文世界理解卡繆與《異鄉人》內涵最重要的一部文本。 ◎「荒謬」的一個來源，就是人習慣性地依賴希望活著。希望就是我們最相信的謊言，有著最大的欺瞞、麻醉效果。◎卡繆對薛西弗斯神話的解釋是：他因為輕視神、因為痛恨死亡、因為熱愛生命，所以受罰。他就是個「荒謬英雄」，他的熱情與他所受的折磨都指向「荒謬」。◎「存在主義」是個人哲學，非得要落在個人生活裡才有意義。「存在主義」追求的，不是answer，而是solution，處理的不是question，而是problem。

談論死亡問題，說的其實是生命問題；談論愛欲問題，說的也是人生的掙扎與意義。 關於生命的問題，關鍵在於人對生命的焦慮（anxiety），而正是這種對生命的焦慮，令我們面對生死愛欲的問題時，更渴望得到答案。換言之，人生的意義無法脫離愛欲與死亡。 我們可以不讀孔子或柏拉圖，不研究康德或朱熹，不需要知道海德格，不用關心亞里士多德的形而上學，但是生死愛欲的問題，每個人無論喜歡與否，都必須要面對，因為，我們早已身在其中。 這些問題，或多或少總會令我們產生疑惑。這些問題，是「實存問題」（existential problem），而不僅是「理論問題」（theoretical problem）。不過，這個「實存問題」卻需要以哲學的思路來處理，同時需要放在相關的文化和歷史脈絡來加以理解。 《生死愛欲》探討的，就是人生存在的種種課題，但真正的核心只有一個，那就是：人的處境問題。 *********《生死愛欲》I、II兩冊的內容分別是：【第 I 冊】分為〈希臘神話與哲學〉、〈基督宗教〉兩部分。古希臘及基督宗教傳統關於生死愛欲的看法，對整個人類歷史文化的長河影響深遠。在希臘哲學中，最初是透過神話來理解人類的能力，從如何創天造地，到以不同的神祇表達不同的力量，例如太陽神或死神等等。西方傳統中的「欲愛」（eros）與「德愛」（philia）等概念，也有相關的神話傳說，而這些在中國古代神話中是沒有的。 基督宗教包含天主教、新教，以及東正教等以耶穌基督為中心的宗教。米開朗基羅的一幅名畫，就是神如何創世，創造出人類，而人透過耶穌基督的話語，得知了亞當犯罪，從而打破了上帝與自己之間的隔閡，因此耶穌基督要為世人的罪負責，在地上受苦，為人類釘上十字架，後來再復活，重新拯救人。這種想法影響著所有西方人的心態。 希臘人帶給西方文明理性，是要透過自己的努力改變自己，而不是透過神的力量來改變的，雖然基督宗教開創了很多新的內容，但這兩者之間似乎潛存了很多衝突。 【第 II 冊】包括〈中國傳統〉、〈近代到現代西方〉兩部分。在西方世界中，「愛」可以分為四者：欲愛（eros）、德愛（philia）、神愛（agape），以及浪漫愛（romantic love）。西方世界關於愛的哲學很多，然而中國哲學以理論的方式來講男女之情，卻是極少的，但中國文化
