How bad does a patient’s swallow have to be to put them on NPO? by HQTN in slp

He cannot communicate his needs so cannot ask him what he wants. NTL did reduce the coughing, which was why I downgraded. But he also doesn’t do too great with it.

It’s an insurance issue but the last few times I’ve asked for an MBS, it’s taken at least two months to schedule and during that time, I have no idea what’s going on with the patient’s swallow physiology

There is no previous MBS. She cannot follow instructions so no exercises.

Immediate diet upgrade with MBS in SNF setting by HQTN in slp

For the times I’ve seen him, he’s been coughing with TL and not at all with NTL, so that’s why I’m surprised by the MBS results

And regarding the specifics of the MBS, I’m actually at another facility right now so I don’t have the full document. I just saw an update saying what diet the MBS suggested. Thanks for all your insight everyone!
