What are the Challenges in Implementing Comfort Measures?
Despite their importance, implementing comfort measures can be challenging:
1. Resource Constraints: Limited availability of staff, equipment, or medications can hinder the provision of comfort measures. 2. Time Management: Nurses often have to balance multiple responsibilities, making it difficult to dedicate time solely to comfort care. 3. Patient Compliance: Some patients may resist certain comfort measures due to personal beliefs or misunderstandings. 4. Emotional Toll: Constantly providing comfort care can be emotionally draining for nurses, leading to burnout.
