Answer to Question 1

If the client has difficulty swallowing thin liquids, foods with the consistency of gelatin, fruit ices, yogurt, custards, or puddings may be desirable. Also, a powdered substance is available to thicken thin liquids so that they can be more easily swallowed.

Answer to Question 2

Students could include any diet plan with alternate food choices for calcium, such as sunflower seeds (an excellent choice for a young child), raisins, carrots, pinto beans, salmon, brown rice, ground beef, tofu, nuts. Plans will vary.
