What Are Some Challenges Nurses Face in Addressing Local Resistance Patterns?
Despite the importance of understanding and addressing local resistance patterns, nurses face several challenges:
Limited Access to Data: Sometimes, up-to-date resistance data may not be readily available. Time Constraints: The demanding nature of nursing can make it difficult to stay updated on the latest resistance patterns. Resource Limitations: Not all healthcare settings have the resources to implement optimal infection control and antibiotic stewardship programs.
