What are the Challenges in Implementing Standard Cutlery in Nursing?
While the benefits are clear, there are several challenges to consider:
Cost: Specialized cutlery can be more expensive than standard utensils. Training: Staff need to be trained to assess patient needs and use specialized cutlery correctly. Patient Resistance: Some patients may be resistant to using different utensils due to unfamiliarity or stigma. Maintenance: Specialized cutlery may require specific cleaning and maintenance protocols.
