Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should teach or remind the child to chew and, if necessary, manipulate the jaw up and down. The nurse should ensure correct positioning, preferably in a sitting position with the child's head flexed slightly to help close the larynx against the epiglottis. The nurse should also place food on the side of the mouth, not in the center, and not rush to prevent choking. The nurse should keep the eating atmosphere pleasant by having several people eat together.

Answer to Question 2

D
