Question

1. which of the following is an intervention to improve nutritional intake for individuals with alzheimers?

find out their food preferences.
create a noisy environment.
provide a strict diet.
dim the lighting.

1. which of the following is a sign or symptom associated with dysphagia?

feeling emptiness in the stomach
having abdominal pain
experiencing dumping syndrome
clearing the throat frequently

Explanation:

• For question 9: Knowing food preferences can help tailor meals to increase nutritional intake. A noisy environment can be distracting and negative for eating. A strict diet may be unappealing and reduce intake. Dimming lighting may not directly relate to improving intake.
• For question 10: Dysphagia (swallowing problems) often leads to throat clearing (due to food residue or discomfort in the throat). Feeling stomach emptiness is more about hunger. Abdominal pain is not a direct sign of dysphagia. Dumping syndrome is related to rapid gastric emptying (e.g., after some surgeries), not dysphagia.

Answer:

1. Find out their food preferences.
2. Clearing the throat frequently.
