A nurse is caring for a client. Exhibits A nurse is providing discharge teaching. Which of the following dient statements indicate an understanding of the teaching?

"My food will have to be the consistency of pudding.” A Level 3 dysphagia diet includes thickened foods, such as pudding, which reduce the risk of aspiration by being easier to control while swallowing. "I won't be able to eat nuts anymore.” Hard, dry, or crumbly foods like nuts are contraindicated on dysphagia diets because they pose a high choking risk and are difficult to safely swallow. “I will have to stop watching television while I eat.” Distractions during meals should be minimized to promote safe swallowing and focus on the effort required, especially with dysphagia. “I can have cream soups on this diet.” Cream soups are typically too thin unless they are thickened to the appropriate consistency. Unmodified soups increase the risk of aspiration. “I will look up at the ceiling when I swallow.” Tilting the head back can increase aspiration risk. A chin-tuck position is safer as it narrows the airway and provides better control during swallowing. “I shouldn't drink liquids while I have food in my mouth." Liquids and solids together can increase the risk of choking or aspiration. Swallowing them separately helps maintain control of each texture.
