Why is there a need to modify diets for residents with abnormal swallowing?

To ensure sufficient calories and fluids are taken in to nourish the body

To promote choking

To allow food and liquid to get into the airway

All of the above

Answer explanation

Consuming texture-modified foods and thickened beverages allows more time for people with dysphagia (abnormal swallowing) to swallow their food properly. Modified diets provide a safe, nutrient-rich mealtime experience for patients using foods and drinks that are easy to swallow, which in turn can aid in proper nutrition and overall wellness.
