Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Place the client in a high Fowler's position:High Fowler’s would increase intra-abdominal pressure and strain sutures. For peritonitis recovery, semi-Fowler’s is preferred-promotes drainage of peritoneal fluid into the pelvis, preventing spread to diaphragm and lungs.

B. Ambulate the client twice daily:Too early after peritonitis lavage. Initially, the client is very weak, at risk for sepsis/shock. Early ambulation is not a priority here.

C. Mark abdominal girth once daily:Abdominal girth measurement is important to monitor for distention, fluid accumulation, or bleeding. Marking ensures accuracy in repeated measurements. This is a key intervention in monitoring postop peritonitis.

D. Irrigate the nasogastric tube with tap water:Never irrigate with tap water (risk of electrolyte imbalance, infection). Only sterile normal saline or as prescribed is used.

A. Add thickener to fluids. B. Place food on the left side of the client's mouth. C. Serve food at room temperature. D. Instruct the client to tilt her head back when she swallows.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. This option is aimed at modifying the consistency of fluids to make them easier to swallow for someone with dysphagia. Thickened liquids are often recommended to prevent aspiration (when food or liquid enters the airway instead of the esophagus) in patients with swallowing difficulties.
B. Placing food on the unaffected side of the mouth, which would be the right side in the case of left-sided weakness, is recommended to aid in easier chewing and swallowing.
C. Temperature can affect how easily food can be swallowed and enjoyed by someone with dysphagia. Extremely hot or cold foods can be more challenging to swallow. However, this dose not address the risk of aspiration.
D. Tipping the head back during swallowing is not recommended because it can increase the risk of choking or aspiration. Instead of tilting the head back, clients with dysphagia should be instructed to maintain an upright position when eating and drinking.
