Not really, depends on the level of staffing and whether there are assistants or not. Sometimes it's just one person trying to lift and manage someone who weighs 3 times what they do. I'm not saying this to be a fat shamer. It's just that things become very difficult when a patient is morbidly obese. Sometimes the scanners will not accommodate them, they get turned, bathed and helped out of bed less often because it is sometimes beyond the physical capabilities of the staff. Bariatric specialty wings where there are appropriate medical devices and lift equipment are the best.

Where I work there have been several people go out on disability due to injuries related to moving, lifting people larger than what they could handle or using bad body mechanics. Sometimes in an emergency, you just react and try to grab and hold someone. Older nurses complain all the time that their bodies are wrecked from the long term stress of physically moving patients. Seeing these 50 somethings hobbling along with bad backs, shoulders and knees is depressing.
