How Do Errors and Delays Affect Patient Outcomes?

Errors and delays in nursing care can have severe consequences on patient outcomes. Medication errors can lead to adverse drug reactions, while delays in treatment can exacerbate medical conditions. Poor documentation can result in miscommunication, leading to inappropriate care plans. These issues can prolong hospital stays, increase healthcare costs, and, in extreme cases, result in patient mortality.
