A client is admitted to the rehabilitation unit following a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and mild dysphagia. The most appropriate intervention for this client is to
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Positioning upright while eating is most appropriate for mild dysphagia post-CVA. It reduces aspiration risk by leveraging gravity, per stroke care protocols. Clear liquids may increase aspiration if swallowing is impaired, tilting head back worsens risk by opening the airway, and finger foods require more coordination than mild dysphagia permits. A enhances safety and swallowing efficacy.
