What are the Common Barriers to Effective Double Checking?
Despite its importance, there are several barriers to effective double checking:
1. Time constraints: Nurses often have heavy workloads, making it challenging to find time for double checks. 2. Staffing issues: Limited staffing can make it difficult to have two qualified professionals available. 3. Lack of training: Inadequate training on the importance and methods of double checking can result in inconsistent practices.
