4. What are some barriers an adult with obesity might have when it comes to making

healthcare visits?

I feel a barrier someone with obesity might have when it comes to healthcare visits is them not wanting to hear about all the problems, they have, which is why as an FNP we need to be compassionate with our delivery and our care. We need to remind them that it is a disease, and we are there to help. Another problem is a healthcare provider not having the proper equipment to care for an obese patient. We having to make sure they are treated with dignity and respect.
