On our unit we have this patient who is super obese, like so far she has a bariatric bed and wheelchair! It doesn't help that this girlfell down stairs and can't move anything besides her head.
She's sooooo fat she takes 3-4 nurses to change her position!
She's soooo fat that even with that many nurses, 3 nurses on the unit are off work because they hurt their backs trying to change her position!
I know that society now a days is fatter than they have ever been, but is this the sign of what we're going to have to deal with everyday??? God help us and our backs!
