TOPIC 1: DYSPHAGIA AND NUTRITION
4 Questions • 16.0% of Exam • This topic addresses the signs of dysphagia and the implications of dietary restrictions.
QUESTION 1
The following are signs and symptoms of dysphagia except:
a. Food spills out of the person s mouth while eating
b. The person eats slowly, especially solid foods
c. The person frequently coughs or chokes before, during, or after swallowing
d. Appetite is increased
Answer: D. Appetite is increased.
Rationale: Dysphagia, a condition characterized by difficulty swallowing, is often accompanied by changes in eating habits, such as
eating slowly and coughing or choking due to food sticking in the throat. An increased appetite, however, is not a common symptom of
dysphagia, as individuals experiencing dysphagia often struggle to consume food due to the difficulty swallowing, leading to a decrease
in appetite rather than an increase.
