Answer to Question 1

dysphagia
Classic signs of dysphagia include inability to hold food and fluid in the mouth or difficulty moving food into the esophagus.

Early recognition of the patient's difficulty will allow the nurse to implement aspiration precautions to protect the patient from complications of dysphagia.
