What to expect at a Nurse Practitioner visit

Nurse practitioners provide primary and specialty care and, depending on state scope-of-practice rules, prescribe independently or in collaboration with a physician. A GLP-1-related visit often includes:

• •A health and medication history and goal-setting conversation.
• •Screening labs where indicated before starting therapy.
• •A discussion of GLP-1 options for diabetes or weight management.
• •Follow-up to monitor response and adjust dose.

This is general guidance for nurse practitioner practices, not a description of Shekita James's specific protocol, services, or pricing. Confirm what a visit involves directly with the practice — 404-913-9130.
