answer might be E. There are studies out there about aspiration prevention by
jejunostomy tube placement. At the same time, aspiration risk is increased with
poorly fitted dentures or missing teeth. This patient has false teeth, which by itself
do not predispose to aspiration. I think A might be a distractor. Another commenter
thinks it is B: the most commonly used method used to prevent aspiration that ive
seen in hospitals is GIVING ANTACIDS, the dentures r not unhygienic or ill fitting, so
