    The interventions may be similar but the diagnoses are two different things.A patient that has one of those diagnoses may not necessarily have the other although it is common.Tube fed patients can be at risk for aspiration. There is no swallowing involved but rather of residual feed.People with swallowing impairment may not be at the same high risk for aspiration.

    Can I use them both for care plan then?

    I wouldnt see why u couldn't use both as long as you have data. Aspiration before swallowing when prioritizing I think

    The interventions for risk of aspiration could be different depending on the situation.A patient getting a tube feed would be at risk for aspiration but the interventions would not be the same for at risk for impaired swallowing so the care plan would not be identical for both.

    What are the things you observed in this patient? Once again, you can't just pick a couple of sexy-sounding nursing diagnoses without supporting data (these are called "defining characteristics," and they are required elements for nursing diagnosis, not optional).

    NANDA-I 2012-2014, $29 and free two-day delivery for students at Amazon, $25 on your Kindle. Never, ever get confused on nursing diagnosis again, and have the ammo you need to answer your faculty's questions on all things related to nursing diagnosis and how you did it. Get the book even if they forgot to put it on your bookstore list. Seriously.
