Show answer
Correct answer 5
Key pointFor people with reduced swallowing function, choose smooth, uniform foods such as pudding.
Explanation
Pudding is uniform and smooth, holds together easily, and does not break apart in the mouth, so it is suitable for people with reduced swallowing function.
- 1: Cookies crumble in the mouth and easily cause choking and coughing (むせ).
- 2: Castella has little moisture and becomes dry in the mouth, making it hard to swallow.
- 3: The wafer of monaka easily sticks to the roof of the mouth.
- 4: Mochi is very sticky and has a high risk of suffocation (窒息).
Explanation in Japanese
プリンは均一でなめらかにまとまりやすく、口の中でばらけにくいため、嚥下機能が低下した人に適しています。
- 1：クッキーは口の中でぼろぼろになり、むせやすい。
- 2：カステラは水分が少なく、口の中でパサついて飲み込みにくい。
- 3：もなかの皮は上あごに貼りつきやすい。
- 4：餅は粘りが強く、窒息の危険が高い。
