What Challenges Might Nurses Face in Discharge Planning?
Nurses may encounter several challenges during discharge planning, such as:
Time Constraints: The fast-paced hospital environment may limit the time available for thorough discharge planning, potentially leading to missed steps. Patient Understanding: Patients with low health literacy or language barriers may struggle to understand discharge instructions. Resource Limitations: Access to community resources or home care services may be limited, affecting the quality of the discharge plan.
