Swallowing disorders in geriatric patients often pose a challenging problem for caregivers, therapists, and family members. Due to the far-reaching consequences of malnutrition or aspiration pneumonia (lung inflammation caused by swallowing food or liquid), comprehensive interdisciplinary care for the affected individual is vital. This book provides assistance and demonstrates how a swallowing disorder can be recognized in a short time, what treatment measures need to be taken, and which foods and beverages the patient must be provided with at each stage of their illness to ensure adequate care for their life.
