A major disadvantage of CBE is that it can result in omissions in documenting client care because of either varying views of what is abnormal or deviations.Another disadvantage is that is does not capture the application of critical thinking by the nurse in the provision of care.CBE reduces the amount of time spent in charting because if nurses document only deviations from the normal CBE,then it is assumed that unless a separate entry is made,all standards have been met with a normal response.
