Thank you for sharing!! This was very helpful. I'm trying to transition from schools to skilled nursing and needed to brush up on a few things I learned in my externship. Thanks again!!
I'm from the UK so may be slightly different but if there are no overt clinical signs of penetration/aspiration and Pt reports all felt good, I can assume at that point that consistency is safe. A thicker drink would likely yield the same results but we wouldn't put a Pt thicker than they need to be. Hope that makes sense 😊
