While protective empowering has many benefits, it also presents certain challenges:
Time Constraints: Nurses often have limited time to spend with each patient, making it difficult to provide thorough education and support. Complexity of Information: Medical information can be complex and difficult for patients to understand, requiring nurses to simplify and clarify. Patient Readiness: Not all patients are ready or willing to take an active role in their care, and nurses must navigate these varying levels of readiness. Resource Limitations: Limited resources can hinder a nurse's ability to provide comprehensive education and support. Emotional Burden: Nurses may experience emotional strain as they balance protecting patients with empowering them.
