Despite its importance, hazard communication in nursing faces several challenges, including:
Language Barriers: Diverse workforces may include individuals with varying levels of proficiency in the primary language used for communication. Information Overload: Nurses often receive large volumes of information, making it difficult to retain and act upon critical hazard details. Limited Time: High workloads and time constraints can hinder the ability to thoroughly communicate hazards. Varying Levels of Hazard Awareness: Differences in experience and training among staff can result in inconsistent understanding of risks.
