Management of CareQuestion 1763 of 2368

A client had a stroke yesterday and has trouble swallowing. The client needs help with the lunch meal. What should the RN do?

  1. Assign the feeding to any available UAP on the unit as routine daily care
  2. Ask the UAP to leave the tray at the bedside for the client to eat alone
  3. Ask the UAP to feed the client after the client's family leaves the room
  4. Feed the client personally or use a UAP with added training in feeding assistance
Show answer

Correct answer: Feed the client personally or use a UAP with added training in feeding assistance

Feeding a client with swallowing difficulty is not routine care, so it cannot be assigned to a UAP without added training.
