The nurse should intervene to prevent potential harm. Option B is incorrect as taking frequent breaks while eating is actually a good strategy to prevent choking and aspiration in clients with dysphagia. Option C is incorrect as adjusting the head of the bed to 90 degrees helps with swallowing and reduces the risk of aspiration.
