Closing Speaking Practice: Present in teams a sample meal menu for a patient including the disease, the patient's situation, the sample meal, and special considerations.

Oral Presentation: Feeding a Post-Stroke Patient Using Fractions

 

1. Introduction:

Hello everyone. Today, I’m going to talk about how to feed a patient who has had a stroke.

 

2. The Patient’s Situation:

• The patient is a 75-year-old man who recently suffered a mild stroke.
• As a result, he has difficulty swallowing, which is known as dysphagia.
• He is also unable to feed himself, so he needs assistance during mealtime.
• His diet is pureed food and thickened liquids, and we must monitor how much he eats at every meal.

 

3. Meal Sample:

• The food is divided into small portions:
• ½ plate of mashed potatoes
• ¼ plate of pureed chicken
• ¼ plate of blended carrots
• For his drink, he receives ½ a cup of thickened apple juice.

 

4. Special Considerations:

• I sit the patient up at a 90-degree angle to reduce the risk of choking.
• I speak calmly: “Are you ready for another bite?”
• I check for signs of discomfort or fatigue.
• After feeding, I clean his mouth and record the fractions eaten on the patient chart.
