The nurse is planning care for the client experiencing dysphagia secondary to a CVA. Which intervention should be included in the plan of care?
ExplanationDysphagia (swallowing difficulty) puts the client at risk for aspiration, pneumonia, dehydration, and malnutrition; therefore, the nurse should evaluate the client during mealtime. The client should be in a high Fowler position or, preferably, in a chair.
