单项选择题
When caring for a client with the nursing diagnosis Impaired swallowing related to neuromuscular impairment, the nurse should （）.
A．position the client in a supine position.
B．elevate the head of the bed 90 degrees during meals.
C．encourage the client to remove dentures.
D．encourage thin liquids for dietary intake.
答案
参考答案：B
解析：
The head of the bed must be elevated while the client is eating. The client should be placed in a recumbent position--not a supine position--when lying down to reduce the risk of aspiration. Encourage the client to wear properly fitted dentures to enhance his chewing ability. Thickened liquids, not thin liquids, decrease aspiration risk.
