Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has dementia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the client's risk of aspiration pneumonia?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Elevate the head of the client's bed to 45 degrees during meals. This position helps prevent aspiration by reducing the risk of food or liquid entering the airway. Gravity assists in directing the food down the esophagus instead of the trachea. Turning on the television (
A) may distract the client and increase the risk of aspiration. Providing oral hygiene (
B) is important but does not directly address the risk of aspiration. Instructing the client to tilt their head back while swallowing (
D) can actually increase the risk of aspiration by obstructing the airway.
