Several challenges can hinder the ability to provide timely care: 1. Staffing Shortages: Insufficient staffing levels can lead to delays in care as nurses have more patients to attend to in a limited amount of time. 2. Complex Cases: Patients with complex medical conditions may require more time for assessment and treatment, which can delay care for other patients. 3. Administrative Tasks: Excessive documentation and administrative responsibilities can take time away from direct patient care.
