Question

A nurse is caring for a client with Parkinson's disease who is not prescribed aspiration precautions. The client appears to have no difficulties with eating or drinking. Why might the nurse remain concerned about aspiration risk? Silent aspiration is common with neurologic disorders. Some aspiration may be occurring even without obvious signs. Clients with Parkinson's disease always have dysphagia. The client may be hiding the difficulty with swallowing. Decreased sensation can cause silent aspiration.
