What are the Challenges in Conducting Infection Control Drills in Pediatrics?
Conducting infection control drills in a pediatric setting comes with unique challenges:
Emotional Stress: Drills can be stressful for both staff and young patients. Care must be taken to minimize anxiety. Communication Barriers: Children may not understand or cooperate during drills, making realistic practice difficult. Resource Allocation: Ensuring that drills do not interfere with the care of actual patients requires careful planning and resource management.
