Extract:

Client has dysphagia


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is supervising an assistive personnel who is feeding a client who has dysphagia. Which of the following actions by the AP should the nurse identify as correct technique?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Instructing the client to place her chin toward her chest when swallowing. This technique, known as chin tuck, helps prevent aspiration in clients with dysphagia by closing off the airway during swallowing. It facilitates safe passage of food and liquid into the esophagus, reducing the risk of choking or aspiration pneumonia. Providing a rest period (choice
A) may be beneficial but does not directly address dysphagia. Elevating the head of the bed (choice
B) is correct but not specific to assisting with swallowing. Withholding fluids (choice
D) is contraindicated as it may increase the risk of aspiration.
