oral intake strategies

Oral intake strategies involve planned approaches to help individuals consume enough fluids and food for proper health and recovery. These strategies may include scheduled meal and snack times, choosing nutrient-rich options, adjusting food textures for easier swallowing, and using techniques like small bites or sips. They are designed to improve nutrition, hydration, and comfort, especially for those with eating or swallowing difficulties. Healthcare providers tailor these strategies based on individual needs, ensuring safety and promoting optimal nutritional intake to support overall health and recovery.
