Several factors can contribute to defects in nursing, including:
- Work Overload: Nurses often manage multiple patients and tasks simultaneously, which can lead to errors due to fatigue and stress. - Inadequate Training: Lack of proper training can result in nurses not being fully equipped to handle specific tasks or situations. - Poor Communication: Ineffective communication systems and practices can contribute to misunderstandings and errors. - Systemic Issues: Organizational problems such as understaffing, lack of resources, and inefficient workflows can increase the likelihood of defects.
