| Dysphagia | ||
| Dysphagia is a weakness or paralysis of the muscles
used for speech and results in a person's speech being slurred and
difficult to understand. A person who is having difficulty eating may choke on certain solids or liquids or may develop pneumonia as the result of food or liquid "going down the wrong way". Alert family and friends to any dietary restrictions and caution them against providing unauthorized "snacks or treats". |
