Nutrition and hydration tips for stroke patients with dysphagia.
نویسنده
چکیده
This article examines the nursing care that should be given to patients who have suffered a stroke (cerebrovascular accident or CVA) that has caused them to have dysphagia. It focuses on the maintenance of their nutrition and hydration needs through safe oral feeding practices and how the risk of aspiration can be managed. This is an important nursing issue, particularly as the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCP, 2000) states that nutrition and hydration needs are often not met.
