Despite its importance, risk assessment in nursing can be challenging due to:
Time Constraints: Nurses often have limited time to conduct thorough risk assessments due to heavy workloads and staffing shortages. Subjectivity: Risk assessment involves a degree of clinical judgement, which can vary between nurses. Incomplete Data: Lack of comprehensive patient information can hinder accurate risk assessment. Communication Barriers: Ineffective communication among healthcare team members can lead to missed or misunderstood risk factors.
