Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person with dementia is confused and often forgets to chew and swallow. To prevent choking, it is important to offer the client small bites of food slowly. A visually impaired individual will benefit from the clock-face method of food placement, whereas a physically impaired individual will benefit from a cup holder. Assisting with cutting and seasoning of food would be the answer only if the resident was not experiencing confusion.
