Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dysphagia. When assisting the client during breakfast, which of the following actions by the client indicates the nurse should intervene?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because using a straw to drink thickened juice can be dangerous for a client with dysphagia. Straws can increase the risk of aspiration as they bypass the natural protection mechanisms in the mouth and throat. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) taking frequent breaks while eating is actually a good strategy for someone with dysphagia to prevent choking,
B) adjusting the head of the bed to 90° helps with swallowing, and
C) tucking the chin when swallowing can help protect the airway.
