Nurses working in nursing homes will care for residents who have dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, on a regular basis. Clear, evidence-based guidelines are necessary for all staff to be able to meet the needs of these residents safely and efficiently. A multidisciplinary approach is important to ensure accurate assessment, devise appropriate care and achieve specific goals. Equipment such as valved beakers, rimmed plates and non-slip mats will help maintain safety during mealtimes. Prescription items, such as fluid thickeners and anticholinergic medication, help to manage the condition and provide comfort during mealtimes and in between. Robust education and training should be in place for all nursing and care staff who care for residents with the condition.
在养老院工作的护士会定期照料吞咽困难的居民。对于所有员工而言，清晰、基于证据的指南是安全且高效地满足这些居民需求所必需的。多学科方法对于确保准确评估、制定适当护理措施并实现特定目标很重要。带阀门的烧杯、有边缘的盘子和防滑垫等设备有助于在用餐期间维持安全。诸如增稠剂和抗胆碱能药物等处方物品有助于控制病情，并在用餐期间及餐间提供舒适感。对于所有照料患有该病症居民的护理和照料人员，都应开展完善的教育和培训。
