Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic is presenting a great issue to the provision of quality healthcare services to the patients. The process of dealing with the covid-19 pandemic requires well-being of the nurses both physically and mentally. The mental and physical issues caused by the nursing shortages affects the delivery of quality healthcare services and improvement in the safety of the patients during this pandemic. The shortages of numbers increase the possibilities of medication errors and this tampers with the quality healthcare services delivered to the patients. It increases the risks of infections for both nurses and patients thus extending the chain of covid-19 transmission.
