2.3 Feeding caregiver techniques

  • Feed meals when the person is alert and attentive.

  • To help feed, the caregiver must position himself at the same level as the patient.

  • Check the volume of the food and drink provided.

  • Clear and easy-to-understand indications about the feeding process may also be needed. “open your mouth”, “chew”, “swallow”
