What is the final step after feeding?

• A. Record intake
• B. Wash hands
• C. Check if swallowed
• D. Remove clothing protector & tidy area up

Answer: (D)

After feeding, the final action is to remove the clothing protector and tidy the area. This completes the meal routine by keeping the resident clean and comfortable and preventing spills from drying on clothing or around the workspace. It also respects the resident’s dignity by quickly restoring the area to a neat state. While recording intake, washing hands, and checking for swallowing are important parts of feeding care, the last step in finishing the task is cleaning up and removing the protector.
