Several challenges make managing infections complex in nursing:
Antibiotic Resistance: The rise of multidrug-resistant organisms makes treatment difficult and requires careful antibiotic stewardship. Patient Compliance: Ensuring that patients follow prescribed treatments and infection control measures can be challenging. Resource Limitations: Adequate staffing, availability of PPE, and access to sterilization equipment can vary, impacting infection control efforts. Environmental Factors: High patient turnover, shared facilities, and the presence of vulnerable populations increase the risk of infections. Emerging Pathogens: New and re-emerging infectious diseases require ongoing vigilance and adaptation of infection control practices.
