Abstract : Perinatal patient safety depends on adequate nurse staffing. When nurses are working short-staffed, essential aspects of nursing care can be missed, which increases risk of adverse patient outcomes. Examples of risks of patient morbidity and mortality associated with missed nursing care are presented.
