Inhalant abuse is a significant problem affecting many people, particularly youth. The easy availability of products containing volatile substances (e.g., aerosol sprays, cleaning products, paint) provides opportunity for mind-altering experiences. Unfortunately, serious complications such as brain, cardiovascular, liver, and renal damage or even death may ensue. Adolescents perceive the risk as low, and parents may be unaware of the risks. Health care providers, particularly psychiatric nurses, should undertake strategies of prevention, assessment, and treatment of this challenging problem.
吸入性物质滥用是一个影响众多人群，尤其是青少年的重大问题。含有挥发性物质的产品（如气雾剂喷雾、清洁产品、油漆）容易获取，这为人们带来了改变意识的体验机会。不幸的是，可能会随之出现诸如脑、心血管、肝脏和肾脏损伤等严重并发症，甚至导致死亡。青少年认为风险较低，而家长可能并未意识到这些风险。医疗保健提供者，尤其是精神科护士，应采取预防、评估和治疗这一具有挑战性问题的策略。
