Answer to Question 1

4
Brash water, or the sensation of the mouth filling with saliva because of acid backflow into the esophagus, is a symptom of Barrett's esophagus. Brash water is not associated with oral cancer, gastric ulcers, or dysphagia.

Answer to Question 2

2
In clients with dysphagia, inspiration commonly occurs during swallowing. This increases the risk for aspiration. This assessment finding does not indicate that the client is recovering from a stroke. This assessment finding does not indicate that the client will experience dyspepsia or that the client has esophageal reflux disease.
