What are the Challenges in Maintaining Accountability?
Maintaining accountability in nursing can be challenging due to:
- Workload and Staffing Issues: High patient-to-nurse ratios can lead to burnout and errors. - Complexity of Care: The increasing complexity of patient care requires continuous learning and adaptation. - Ethical Dilemmas: Nurses may face situations where they must balance competing ethical considerations. - Systemic Issues: Inadequate resources or poor organizational support can hinder accountability.
