swallowing. This technique can help to close off the airway and
protect the lungs from food or liquid entering them. However, it is
important to note that this technique may not be suitable for
everyone with dysphagia.
Offer the client food on the unaffected side of their mouth. This will
help prevent aspiration and choking.

help prevent aspiration and reflux.
It is important to note that sticky foods such as peanut butter should
be avoided as they can be difficult to swallow and may cause
choking.
