Aspiration Precautions

Answer 3

Everyone is telling you what the aspiration is but not the precaution part of your question
Precautions for aspiration are these: Have the person be fed or watched while eating. Make sure the person is doing the 'chin tuck' when swallowing. Thickened liquids in honey or nectar consistency is a must. Most likely puree or mechanical soft diet too. Head elevated almost 90 degrees while eating and a half hour after eating. No water unless it is thickened and no straws.
Hope this helps
