- Workload: High patient-to-nurse ratios can limit the time available for thorough observations. - Human Error: Mistakes can occur in recording, leading to inaccurate data. - Subjectivity: Personal biases can affect the interpretation of observations. - Technology Issues: Problems with EHR systems can hinder accurate documentation.
