Instead of fork, use spoons to feed the person. They are less likely to cause injury than forks. The spoon should only be one-third full. Many people pray before eating. Allow time and privacy for prayer. This shows respect and care for the person. Serve food and fluids in the order the person prefers. Meals provide social contact with others. Engage the person in pleasant conversation. However, allow time for chewing and swallowing.
