Obesity Essentials for Nurses

Course Description

Obesity management has become an essential requirement in the field of healthcare for emphasis on better patient care. The key to effective obesity management is a positive attitude toward the patient and the clinical expertise to develop a treatment plan. Due to a lack of time, or understanding of the complexity of obesity, weight management strategies are often unsuccessful. This course will enhance nurses’ ability to integrate weight management strategies safely and effectively into their patients’ treatment. Additionally, the rising incidence of morbid obesity increases the demand for nursing care for patients who have undergone bariatric procedures.

The Obesity Essentials course prepares nurses for the challenges of obesity by first understanding how patients with obesity are predisposed to multiple life-threatening comorbidities and their complications. The management of obesity is not a “one size fits all.” So, the Obesity Essentials online course provides patient-specific and disease-specific solutions involving dietary adjustments combined with behavior modification and increased physical activity.

Obesity Essentials Course for Nurses effectively addresses these challenges through online audiovisual aids, virtual instructor-led classes, and downloadable learning material that allow you to study around your work schedule and cultivate a better understanding of obesity & weight loss to help nurture nurses.
