6A. Produce a hand-out that could be used to help staff understand why three service users have difficulty with eating. You should include information for three from:

* Confused patients

* Service users who have difficulty swallowing

* Service users who have poor eyesight

* Service users who have chewing difficulties

* Service users who are weak through illness or disease.

Confused patients:

There are many service users who are not able to decide for themselves as to what they would like to eat or what they have eaten already such as a service user saying to a care workers that why don't you ever fed me whereas he just ate dew minutes ago. There might be some service users who will not know what to eat or what is best for a healthy diet they are trying to maintain.

These types of confusions can occur when a service user has a physical illness such as having influenza which can cause the service user feeling confused all the time. A stroke can also cause a service user to be confused too because they will not fully react to what is happening around
