Which food may be more suitable for a patient with weak tongue control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Uniform thick smooth food
Weak tongue control can make it difficult to collect, shape, and move a thin or fragmented bolus safely. A smooth, cohesive, appropriately thick food may provide more control in the oral phase and reduce scattering. It is not a universal prescription; the exact texture should be selected after individual swallowing assessment.
