Study Tips for Nutrition
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) clients must always be upright (90 degrees or as high as possible) during and after eating.
- Never rush a client during meals — swallowing problems are a leading cause of aspiration pneumonia.
- Know the signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dark urine, confusion, dizziness, rapid heartbeat.
- A diabetic diet focuses on consistent carbohydrate intake at regular meal times — timing matters as much as food choice.
