The study identifies gaps in documentation practices regarding diet changes in dysphagia, suggesting improvements are needed to protect patient autonomy.
The findings reveal a gap between ethical and legal standards and current documentation practices when recommending diet modifications. Incomplete documentation may compromise personal autonomy and increase the risk of professional liability. Enhanced education, targeted training, and systematic implementation of informed consent protocols are essential to promote best practice and safeguard both people with dysphagia and clinicians.
