I tried the survey, I was using my iPhone, which may be part of the problem, but several questions did not allow any answers and even more were very confusing as to what kind of answer you were looking for. I work in LTC and we do have a few cases of aspiration pneumonia per year, but I was not able to complete your survey.

I was unable to answer all the questions...I am unwilling to answer questions for a Capstone research project that are grammatically incorrect.
