HealthcareClinical Care & Patient Monitoring5CriticalNurse$ implied
A nurse is facing potential disciplinary action and emotional distress after a patient fall and death, exacerbated by understaffing and lack of support, and feels unable to meet patient care demands.
Existing staffing levels and management protocols fail to provide adequate support during high-acuity shifts, leaving nurses overwhelmed and unable to perform all required tasks such as timely pain reassessment; bed alarm systems lack tamper-proof tracking to determine who disabled them.
