A client recovering from an ischemic stroke is experiencing difficulty swallowing. The nurse is planning the client’s care. Which interventions should the nurse implement to address this issue? Select all that apply. Monitor the client for signs of aspiration, such as coughing or choking while eating. Refer the client to a speech-language pathologist for a swallowing evaluation. Provide a texture-modified diet. Ensure the client is positioned upright during meals to reduce the risk of aspiration. Avoid offering thin liquids until a swallowing evaluation is completed.
