Question 1 of 5
A client with dysphagia is ready to eat lunch. Which of these foods on the tray would be best to start with when assisting the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A client with dysphagia is at risk for aspiration. A liquid thickener will allow the LPN to assess the client's ability to swallow prior to introducing pureed or solid foods. Since Jell-O™ melts into a clear liquid, it should not be used when assessing swallowing ability.
