Although nutrition and pain are both high on the list of priorities,prevention of aspiration is the highest.When a client aspirates,his or her respiratory system is compromised,thereby causing further deterioration,which increases nutritional needs.Grieving,although also important,does not take priority over physical needs and safety.
