Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The person's care plan should have specific instructions on how to meet the special feeding needs of a resident who is on aspiration precautions. This is a part of the overall care plan that outlines the unique care requirements of the resident. It is the most likely place to find guidance on how to feed a resident who cannot swallow easily, and who requires special attention to avoid aspiration. The Kardex may also have some information, but it is not as comprehensive as the care plan. The person's chart may include information related to the person's medical condition, but it may not necessarily touch on their specific feeding needs or precautions. The person's meal tray will not have information regarding specific feeding needs, it will only contain the food that was ordered for the resident.
