A. Apply foam handles to the client's eating utensils.
Rationale:
To help a client with chronic arthritis who experiences difficulty eating,
applying foam handles to the eating utensils can provide a larger, more
comfortable grip and reduce strain on the joints. Asking for a puree diet may
not be necessary unless swallowing difficulties are present. Having an assistive
personnel feed the client may not promote independence. While obtaining a
referral for physical therapy may be beneficial for overall mobility, it does not
directly address the client's difficulty with eating.
