Nurses can provide valuable support to patients undergoing FEES by:
Explaining the procedure and addressing any concerns or questions the patient may have. Ensuring the patient is comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. Assisting with the preparation of different food and liquid consistencies for the swallowing assessment. Monitoring the patient for any signs of distress or complications during and after the procedure. Communicating the results of the FEES to the multidisciplinary team and participating in the development of the patient's care plan.
