A nurse is assisting with feeding a client who has had a stroke. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of dysphagia?

A. A hydrocolloid dressing is a type of dressing that is used for wounds with minimal exudate, such as the wound on the client's coccyx described in the scenario. It provides a moist environment for wound healing and can help with pain relief. This type of dressing is suitable for wounds with granulation tissue and can help protect the wound from further damage while promoting healing.

B. A dry gauze is not appropriate for this type of wound as it does not provide the necessary moist environment for healing and may adhere to the wound, causing damage upon removal.

C. A hydrogel dressing is typically used for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.

D. An alginate dressing is typically used for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. These dressings may not be suitable for the described wound with minimal exudate.

E. A transparent dressing may not be suitable for a wound with granulation tissue and moderate exudate, as it may not provide adequate protection and moisture to the wound.

Rationale:

A. This response addresses the client's desire to have family visits but does not directly address the client's concerns about end-of-life care.

B. Asking the client to express their expectations about activities related to the end-of-life allows the nurse to understand the client's wishes and concerns and to provide appropriate support.

C. This response addresses the client's need for pain management but does not directly address the client's concerns about end-of-life care.

D. This response addresses the client's need for spiritual support but does not directly address the client's concerns about end-of-life care.
