"I shouldn't drink liquids while I have food in my mouth."

"I won't be able to eat nuts anymore."

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C,E,F

A.   "I will look up at the ceiling when I swallow.". The recommended position for swallowing is typically sitting upright with the chin slightly tucked.
B.   "I will have to stop watching television while I eat." This indicates an understanding of the importance of focusing on eating and avoiding distractions.
C.   "My food will have to be the consistency of pudding." This indicates understanding of the Level 3 dysphagia diet, which requires foods to be moist and easily swallowed.
D.   "I can have cream soups on this diet." While cream soups might seem like a good option, they can be too thick for a Level 3 dysphagia diet. The consistency should be more like a thin purée.
E.   "I shouldn't drink liquids while I have food in my mouth." This demonstrates understanding of the importance of avoiding choking hazards.
F.   "I won't be able to eat nuts anymore." This indicates understanding of the restrictions on hard, crunchy foods on a Level 3 dysphagia diet.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine used as the first-line treatment for status epilepticus. It rapidly terminates seizures.
B. A beta-blocker, atenolol is used for conditions like hypertension and angina, not for seizures.
C. While phenytoin is an anti-seizure medication, it has a slower onset of action compared to lorazepam. It's used as a second-line agent in status epilepticus.
D. Levetiracetam is an anti-epileptic drug, but not the first choice for acute seizure management like status epilepticus.

A. Provide a nonskid mat to alleviate plate movement. B. Encourage the use of the wide grip utensils. C. Remind the client to look for food on the left side of the tray. D. Encourage the client to use his right hand when feeding himself.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. While this is a good safety measure for any client, it doesn't address the specific issue of homonymous hemianopsia.
B. This can be helpful for clients with motor difficulties but does not address the visual impairment.
C. Since the client has a right-sided stroke and homonymous hemianopsia, they will likely miss food on the left side of their tray. Reminding them to scan that area can help prevent them from missing food.
D. While this might seem logical, it doesn't address the underlying issue of the client's visual impairment.
