What feeding intervention would be most appropriate for a patient with impaired vision

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing plates with food guards can help prevent spilling and make it easier for the patient to scoop food onto utensils. This is particularly important for patients with impaired vision who may have difficulty seeing the edge of the plate or the location of the food on the plate. Assisting with posture and ensuring proper mouth movement during chewing (options A and D) may be helpful for other feeding difficulties, but are not specifically targeted for patients with impaired vision. Placing food between teeth to promote chewing (option B) is not a recommended practice as it can increase the risk of choking.
