The document discusses a nursing care plan that assesses a client's needs and plans interventions to address impaired sleep, swallowing, and mobility.

The client is experiencing difficulty swallowing, making it hard to eat and drink, and preventing discharge.

Nursing will assist the client in learning specific feeding techniques and swallowing exercises to promote intake and prevent aspiration.
