Question 1 of 5

A client 80 years of age experienced dysphagia (impaired swallowing) in the weeks following a recent stroke,but the care team wishes to now begin introducing minced and pureed food. How should the nurse best position the client?

Correct Answer: B

D) may not provide adequate support for safe swallowing in this specific case.
