I think work overload is leading to nursing burn out in most of the places. Number of nurses are less in many health sectors according to Who's nurse patient ration. This lead to increase the work and nusese lost their energy while getting over stressed. They may loss their work efficiany and unable to concentrate on duties. This results to reduce quality of care.
The possible solution is to maintain nurse patient ratio. Otherwise health assistant can be posted to help them for minor procedure like checking vitals, giving bath, attending on bell. Registered nurses can provide medication. And assist for procedure etc. If the duties assigned in a proper way why will reduce this situation to a great extend.
