It is lunchtime on Nina the New Nurse’s unit. Nina the New Nurse observes the nurse’s aide assisting a client with right-sided paralysis and dysphagia. The client is sitting in a chair, with his head positioned slightly forward. Nina the New Nurse watches as the aide mixes a little water into the pudding, carefully placing a small spoonful towards the back of the client’s mouth, on the left side. The nurse aide offers the client sips of milk occasionally. The NA is unhurried while assisting the client, taking her cues from the client. Nina the New Nurse is pleased with what she has observed. What, if anything, has Nina the New Nurse done wrong?
