What are the Implications of Inadequate Nursing Care Hours?
Inadequate NCH can have serious implications for both patients and nursing staff. For patients, it can lead to suboptimal care, increased risk of complications, and lower satisfaction levels. For nursing staff, it can result in higher stress, burnout, and job dissatisfaction, potentially leading to increased turnover rates. Ultimately, inadequate NCH can affect the overall quality of care and the reputation of the healthcare facility.
