Matt Vera is a registered nurse with a bachelor of science in nursing since 2009 and is currently working as a full-time writer and editor for Nurseslabs. During his time as a student, he knows how frustrating it is to cram on difficult nursing topics. Finding help online is nearly impossible. His situation drove his passion for helping student nurses by creating content and lectures that are easy to digest. Knowing how valuable nurses are in delivering quality healthcare but limited in number, he wants to educate and inspire nursing students. As a nurse educator since 2010, his goal in Nurseslabs is to simplify the learning process, break down complicated topics, help motivate learners, and look for unique ways of assisting students in mastering core nursing concepts effectively. When discussing weight loss with a patient the most accurate description of how orlistat works is by?Orlistat works by blocking chemicals (enzymes) in your gut which digest fat. Nearly a third of the fat that you eat is blocked by orlistat. The undigested fat is not absorbed into your body and is passed out with your stools (faeces). The normal dose is one capsule - 120 mg, three times a day with each meal.
Which of the following is a drug used to treat obesity that reduces the absorption of fat?Orlistat (Xenical) is a lipase inhibitor that prevents the absorption of dietary fat, and it has been approved as an anti‐obesity drug.
How can I help a patient lose weight?Talk with patients about setting SMART goals for losing weight, or goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-sensitive. For example, suggest a goal of walking 30 minutes a day 3 days a week for 2 months, rather than a more general goal of becoming more active.
What drug therapy may be used to treat obesity?Liraglutide and semaglutide, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that carry a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indication for long-term treatment of obesity, are generally well tolerated.
