Abstract

Bariatric patients have their own set of needs. If the healthcare professional is aware of these needs, it is more likely the bariatric patient will be treated with dignity. It is important for patients with obesity to be provided dignified care at all times. This article reviews proper caregiver education and training; fostering respectful communication using supportive language; developing bariatric protocols; providing size-appropriate furnishings, equipment, supplies and instruments; and having the right equipment at the right place and right time. In addition, the development of a bariatric team of experts to consult on mobility and care issues for these patients is paramount in promoting patient and staff safety and ensuring the best possible dignified care for patients with morbid obesity.
