Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Pocketed food suggests dysphagia. Sitting upright after meals prevents, rather than indicates, dysphagia and neither hunger nor high fluid intake is indicative of dysphagia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Adequate oral care is important in the promotion of adequate food intake, because it enhances chewing, eating, and swallowing. Eating alone is associated with lower caloric intake. Offering incentives may be construed as coercive or patronizing. Frequent, small meals may be necessitated by certain medical conditions, but this is not a recognized strategy for the promotion of nutrition among a larger group of older adults.
