Question 1 of 5
Cheryl M. has a serious swallowing disorder. She has asked you for a glass of water. The doctor has ordered honey thickness liquids for her. Water is not a honey thickness liquid. It is much thinner. What should you do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: You can give Cheryl the water that she has requested; however, since water is not a honey-thick liquid as ordered by the doctor, you must thicken it with a commercial thickener before giving it to her. This will ensure that the water is at the appropriate consistency for her swallowing disorder.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect:
A) Telling the resident she cannot have water is not the best course of action without attempting to modify it first.
B) Giving her applesauce instead of water does not address the specific request for water.
C) Placing Cheryl on NPO status until midnight is unnecessary and does not address her immediate request for water.
