help me please with this

could you explain more please. I am 43 years old with swallowing issuess. Just a bit unclear as to what it is you need if i can help i will.

well
sum thing lke dignity like talkin to client when feeding so that client knows what im doin ect. that would be interaction as well ect things like that if i had to feed you what would u what to try and keep ur dignity ect.

and recod and monitor it would be if u seen a client loss weight want would u do ect

Well if you were feeding me, i would want you to keep talking to me about anything . This helps with any embarassement to me,it distracts me from losing any dignity i have left.

Next point lossing weight i would encourge the client to monitor if the person could everything they do eat, and encourage them like saying you ate well today or you did not to bad. Even if they have'nt.

Get back to you with more,hope this is ok so far.

that did help loads i just need abit more thanks

Re: help me please with this


1. Always make sure your client is able to chew the food and swallow before giving any more 2. make sure your client has protective clothing if needed. 3. make sure you are feeding the client at a pace that is appropriate to them 4. make sure you explain to the client what they are eating.


It would be necessary to record clients intake if they are ill, loosing weight, may be they have a catheter and the client fluid intake needs to be monitored. The only way of doing this accurately is record amounts taken i.e 200mls of tea taken, eat small medium or large meal, and it is important that you do this without delay so you don't forget etc…

Jason thanks you explained it better than i ever could.

are you doing your NVQ
