Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has oral achalasia, The nurse should ask the client which of the following questions to assess their ability to swallow?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Do you feel like you have food stuck at the base of your throat?" This question is appropriate for assessing the client's ability to swallow because oral achalasia is a condition where the lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax, causing difficulty in passing food from the mouth to the esophagus. Asking about the sensation of food stuck in the throat helps to identify this symptom.


Choice B: "Do you have any feelings of fullness in the neck?" is incorrect because fullness in the neck is not a typical symptom of oral achalasia.


Choice C: "Do you feel any burning sensations in your throat?" is incorrect because burning sensations are more commonly associated with acid reflux or GERD, not specifically with oral achalasia.


Choice D: "Do you have any problems with pain while swallowing?" is incorrect as pain while swallowing is not a typical symptom of oral achalasia.
