Statistics
With nurses who were understaffed: "3.2% of nurses reported administering the wrong medication or dose a few times a month or more," (Cho et al, 2016, p.79).
On average, nurses reported that they had cared for more than 17 patients on their most recent shift, (Cho et al, 2016, p. 76).
"Lower RN staffing is also associated with a greater risk that necessary nursing care is missed due to a lack of time," (Ball et al., 2018, p.11)
