Just made a poster for a patient with comprehension difficulties who refuses to comply with eating/ drinking recommendations. We ended up doing a videofluoroscopy to be sure what was happening with their swallow and have evidence to back up our risk management plan (no way he was going to comply with thickened fluids). The VF showed that when the patient ate slowly and took small sips/mouthfuls he didn't aspirate.
Heres the skeleton of the poster:
I need to eat
slowly.

And take small
mouthfuls/sips.

So that I don’t
need:
|
|
And so that I
don’t get a lung infection.
