Inconsistencies can arise from various sources, including:
- Staff Shortages: When there are not enough nurses, the workload increases, leading to potential lapses in care. - Lack of Standardized Procedures: Without standardized protocols, nurses might follow different methods, causing variability in care. - Communication Gaps: Poor communication among healthcare team members can lead to misunderstandings and errors. - Training Discrepancies: Differences in training and education can result in varying levels of competence among nurses.
