If feeding patients or nursing home residents is part of your role
as a health care worker, this book is for you. Jam-packed with
crucial information on how to safely feed patients with swallowing
problems, or dysphagia, this book is a fascinating read but it's
also a reference book you'll want to keep close at hand. This
comprehensive guide is full of practical advice about the basics of
dysphagia and dysphagia diets, potential problems associated with
dehydration, tube feeding, and aspiration pneumonia, as well as the
unique swallowing problems faced by people with specific diseases
such as Parkinson's. Specifically created for use by nursing staff,
certified nursing assistants (CNAs) in the United States, and
personal support workers (PSWs) in Canada, this book was born out
of a desire to maximize the skills of CNAs and PSWs, while making
life better for people with dysphagia.
