Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Keeping the client upright for a time after the meal will help prevent food from being regurgitated back into the esophagus. The position of the client during the meals as well as teaching the chin tuck technique will assist with the swallowing mechanism but will not help with regurgitation. Pocketing food does not cause regurgitation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D

The left cerebral hemisphere is responsible for the language center, calculation skills, and thinking/reasoning abilities. Reading and speaking could be compromised if there is left-sided brain damage. The client also might display over-cautious behavior and might be slow to respond or complete activities. Transfer techniques would apply regardless of the side involved. Impulse control problems can arise with right-sided involvement. Nutritional support may or may not be an issue with this client.
