Weighing in on obesity -approaching the topic with clients

摘要

It can be very challenging for nursing teams to establish and run weight management clinics as we may not know where to begin in some situations. It can be a very sensitive topic and this can make it more difficult to communicate key messages at crucial times. If we take a methodical, systematic approach and treat our clients with respect, then we will be doing the best for our patients. Having a step-by-step plan that can be followed by the whole team, but amended to reflect the individual's needs,can help us ensure success.
