Staffing Shortages A common cause of irregularities is staffing shortages. An overburdened nursing staff may be more prone to mistakes and may not have the time to adhere to all protocols rigorously.
Fatigue and Burnout Nurses often work long hours, leading to fatigue and burnout. This affects their cognitive functions and decision-making abilities, increasing the likelihood of errors.
Lack of Training Insufficient training or continuing education can result in nurses not being up-to-date with the latest practices or technologies, thereby increasing the risk of irregularities.
