HealthcareWorkload Management4HighNurse$ implied
ICU nurses are unable to perform required patient care tasks like turning and oral hygiene every 2 hours and are forced to chart inaccurately due to inadequate staffing and high patient acuity.
Existing staffing and workflow systems do not adequately address the mismatch between required care tasks and available nursing time, leading to ethical dilemmas and incomplete care.
