If hard dry food causes coughing or sticking sensation what step is suitable?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Assess the food consistency and moisture, then make it moist and soft
Hard, dry food can be difficult to chew and control, and coughing or a sticking sensation may signal swallowing difficulty. The food should be assessed and, when appropriate, made moist, soft and easier to manage; professional swallowing advice may be needed. Merely reducing quantity does not correct the unsafe texture or moisture problem.
