Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Encourage the self-feeding whenever possible. Use assistive devices such as a plate guard, utensils, with built-up grip, or suction cup to hold late in place as needed. Placing the food in front of the patient one dish at a time helps to simplify presentation. Also it would be important to offer the most nutrient-sense items first to maximize intake. When feeding an individual with a cognitive impairment it is recommended to minimize disruptions by others during the meal to avoid distractions. When feeding the patient it is important to sit at eye level.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
