The groundbreaking American Nurses Association Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Interprofessional Standards have been adopted by healthcare facilities around the world that want to establish a uniform foundation for safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) programs. This Implementation Guide written by Susan Gallagher, PhD, MSN, MA, RN is complementary to the Standards and is essential in streamlining SPHM programmatic success.
The Implementation Guide to the Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Interprofessional National Standards gives step-by-step ways to implement each of the eight Standards and includes:
- A snapshot introduction that frames today’s practice context and SPHM experiences.
- Numerous detailed ideas and insights for employers and employees.
- Extensive resources and readings in the latest research, techniques, and methodologies.
- Setting specific examples of how each Standard can address realistic issues and challenges.
All healthcare workers who are committed to using the Standards to achieve safe, high quality patient care will find no better guide along the way.

"Regardless of the etiologies of a patient’s obesity, healthcare providers best serve the larger, heavier patient when they understand the patient’s complex clinical needs. The Challenges of Caring for the Obese Patient is a case study-based text book that teaches multidisciplinary clinicians a humanistic approach to treating obese patients through education on relevant topics."

Reviews
"The book is well written, well researched. The author knows her field. As I likely won't be working with the bariatric person - the person who looks to surgery for help with their weight - I lent the book to a nurse friend who is heading up a bariatric center in South East Mo."
"Great for patients, caregivers and family."
"I found the book easy to understand and helpful in all areas of life. I made so many notes in the margins that I purchased another book to pass along to co-workers."
"This is a great book covering all aspects of bariatric patients and bariatric surgery, info on insurance reimbursement, pre and post op expectations. Very sensitive, remember that the bariatric surgical patient is someone whose self-esteem is so affected by their weight, that major abdominal surgery is preferable to remaining obese. This book tells all."
