Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing thickened liquids and pureed foods is the best option for meeting Brian's nutritional needs as he has developed dysphagia as a result of his stroke. This will reduce the risk of aspiration and ensure that he is able to swallow and digest his food safely. Applying downward pressure to the tongue with a spoon or providing plates with food guards may be helpful for some individuals with dysphagia, but may not be sufficient for Brian's specific needs. Placing foods in similar locations on the plate at each meal is not directly related to meeting nutritional needs in the presence of dysphagia.
