What are Common Challenges in Providing Patient Comfort?
Despite the best efforts, there are several challenges that nurses may face in providing patient comfort:
Resource Limitations: Limited staff, time, and resources can make it difficult to provide optimal comfort. Communication Barriers: Language differences and cognitive impairments can hinder effective communication. Complex Medical Conditions: Patients with multiple or severe health issues may require specialized comfort measures. Patient Non-compliance: Some patients may resist certain comfort measures due to personal preferences or misunderstandings.
