It has taken many years for RNs to achieve recognition as healthcare professionals possessing the exceptional skill and knowledge necessary to provide high-quality care. RNs need to be aware that the care they give and the documentation of that care may be reviewed by others from a legal perspective, and protect themselves accordingly by being as accurate and attentive as possible throughout each and every shift.1 Exposure to malpractice liability is an unfortunate consequence of modern-day nursing practice. An understanding of malpractice will assist nurses in identifying situations that may expose them to legal liability, and will hopefully lead to improved patient care.2

Childhood obesity is a complex, multifactorial problem requiring great scrutiny before judgment is rendered on parental accountability. In several states, legal action has been taken against parents for neglect when well-meaning authorities reported children's diagnosed severe obesity to social services. The aim of this paper is to view childhood obesity through a lens of the ethical principles of social, distributive, and procedural justice. Further, the aim is to debate whether responsibility for childhood obesity is shouldered solely by parents and caretakers, or shared communally as a matter of public health.

Obese children suffer psychological, social, and health-related consequences of weight bias and discrimination. Weight-based stigmatization toward obese youth is unrelenting, pervasive, and cruel. This paper reviews the definitions of weight-related bias and victimization, including bullying, discusses the consequences of these acts, examines current anti-bullying programs, and suggests future directions. The author recommends that all overweight or obese children (especially in school or clinical settings) be assessed for weight-based victimization with appropriate interventions employed if discovered.

The American Pediatric Association (APA) recommends breast milk as the sole source of nutrition for infants aged 6 months and younger. This recommendation is a result of numerous studies demonstrating the benefits of breast milk in relation to decreased infection rates, improved digestion, and decreased complications of prematurity in infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. Emerging studies now suggest a protective link for mother and baby against obesity and related sequelae when infants are breast-fed. As obesity rates in women and children continue to rise, breast milk is becoming recognized as a key intervention to keep both mother and baby healthy.

Bariatric surgery patients present unique challenges for research recruitment. These include the stigma of obesity, sensitive psychosocial issues that may accompany obesity, and the many requirements of insurers before surgery is approved. Yet, little guidance is found in the literature on ways to improve recruitment success for bariatric surgery patients specifically. The purpose of this article is to describe the strategies we developed to overcome anticipated and unanticipated barriers to recruiting bariatric surgery patients for a prospective pilot study. First, we review the literature on barriers to recruitment and strategies to improve recruitment for clinical research projects in general. Pertinent barriers include fear of emotional distress, practical and logistical concerns for data collection, issues related to research regulations, and clinician attitudes regarding the study. Second, we demonstrate the ways in which successful strategies from the literature were incorporated into our recruitme...

Over the past several decades, obesity has become an increasingly important problem for adolescents in the United States. As more children struggle with obesity-related comorbidities and due to the lack of sustained success with medical and behavioral weight-loss programs, the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has emerged as an effective surgical option for significant weight loss first in the adult population and now among adolescents. Nurses play an integral role in the success of the patient undergoing sleeve gastrectomy in both the preoperative and post-operative phases. Their expertise in patient education makes nurses well suited to provide patients and families with anticipatory guidance and nutritional support throughout the process. In addition, the compassion and caring that is unique to the nursing profession allows nurses to excel in the care of patients with the complex medical and psychological disorders related to obesity.

Obesity continues to be a public health issue in the United States. Obesity is a major risk factor for other medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, and some cancers. Healthcare providers play a key role in assisting and providing support to patients who are obese or have obesity-related health problems. They can educate patients who are trying to lose weight and maintain weight loss. However, barriers exist in quality of care. For example, nurses and other healthcare providers may at times have negative attitudes toward and beliefs about patients who are obese. Additionally, healthcare providers may rely on family or self-report of a patient's height and weight, and those estimates are often inaccurate. To improve the care of patients struggling with weight, the clinical nurse leader (CNL), for example, can play an important role in educating nurses regarding issues that affect the patient with obesity. The CNLs can provide educational opportunities that p...
