Having suction equipment at the bedside is a necessary precaution to manage potential aspiration and prevent choking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A.

Instructing the client to look down when ambulating<\/strong> is not advisable. Clients should be encouraged to look straight ahead while walking to maintain balance and reduce the risk of falls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Positioning the client supine after eating<\/strong> is inappropriate, as it can increase the risk of aspiration. The client should remain upright after eating to facilitate proper digestion and reduce the risk of aspiration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has Parkinson&#8217;s disease.
