In this course, you will learn to understand and manage dysphagia, a condition causing major trouble swallowing food and drink. Firstly, we will explore its impact on nutrition, hydration, and health in aged care.
We will identify risks such as stroke or dental issues, and consequences including malnutrition, choking, and reduced quality of life. Next, we will explore texture modification using the IDDSI framework to make swallowing safer.
Then, we will examine respecting individual choices through the Eating and Drinking with Acknowledged Risk approach, while promoting independence with strategies like hand-under-hand feeding.
Lastly, we will discuss first aid methods in responding to choking emergencies.
After this lesson, you’ll be able to:
- Define dysphagia, describe who it affects, and explain how it impacts ageing individuals.
- Discuss texture modification of diets, foods, and fluids in aged care settings.
- Explain the various strategies to promote safer swallowing for individuals.
