In which condition should a dietitian pay special attention to swallowing ability?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When there may be a risk of aspiration

Difficulty in swallowing, called dysphagia, can allow food, liquid, or saliva to enter the airway instead of the oesophagus. This is aspiration and may cause choking, breathing problems, or aspiration pneumonia. Therefore, the dietitian may need to coordinate texture, thickness, posture, feeding method, and professional swallowing assessment for safety.
