Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client who is status post partial laryngectomy should be taught alternative methods of swallowing,and a chart should be placed in the client's room to reinforce teaching.A dynamic swallow study is performed to guide rehabilitation for swallowing.Repeating the steps each shift is not as effective as showing the client a chart.Having the client demonstrate swallowing may not verify that he or she correctly understands supraglottic swallowing.A chart in the room will be most effective in helping both client and staff with this method.
