Answer to Question 1

 An MBS study, or modified barium swallow study, is a study that helps SLPs and the medical staff obtain further information about swallowing ability. It is performed in the radiology department (not at bedside); the SLP will give the patient various foods to eat or drink that are mixed with barium (this makes the bolus show up on the x-ray).
 This evaluation of swallowing should reveal functional alterations to the structures involved, the degree of efficacy of swallowing in its various stages, adequate protection of lower airway, the coordination between breathing and swallowing, and any penetration of the food bolus in the tracheal-bronchial passage.

Answer to Question 2

 Examine his diet record to determine whether he is following the prescribed diet (sodium, fiber, plant sterols/stanols, and other foundations of the TLC diet).
 Where problems exist, provide additional information and strategies for intervention.
 Monitor weight.
 Monitor progress made toward cessation of smoking and increasing physical activity.
 Evaluate level of motivation/interest in lifestyle changes (stage of change)
