Nurses in England say they are having to "ration" care because of time pressures, a study suggests.
The paper in BMJ Quality & Safety found areas that suffer include monitoring patients adequately.
The fewer nurses there are, the higher the risk care will be compromised, according to the study which involved almost 3,000 nurses.
The Department of Health said it was down to each hospital to decide staffing levels.
