To identify swallowing difficulties in acute stroke care, 99 nurses indicated routinely administering standardised screenings, while 10 use unvalidated screenings, and 82 are waiting for a specialist evaluation. Regardless of whether screening methods are used or not, most preferred a non\u2010oral route of medication administration for patients with suspected dysphagia. None of the respondents reported administering whole SMs orally to patients. If screening methods indicate dysphagia, approximately half of the respondents would modify SMs. Participants who stated to use the Gugging Swallowing Screen managed the SM intake guided by its severity levels. One\u2010third of the group who awaited assessment by the dysphagia specialist provided modified medication before the consultation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most of the nurses on stroke units use swallowing screens and avoid the administration of whole SMs in post\u2010stroke dysphagia. In addition to the non\u2010oral administration, SMs are modified if dysphagia is suspected. Precise guidance on the administration of SM is needed, based on screening tests and prior to expert consultation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Trial and Protocol Registration<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\">ClinicalTrials.gov<\/jats:ext-link>: Registration ID: NCT05173051\/ Protocol ID: 11TS003721.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Implications for the profession and\/or patient care<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present paper serves to alert nurses to the issue of patient safety when administering medication for acute stroke\u2010induced dysphagia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title><jats:p>SM delivery after acute stroke\u2010induced dysphagia is often neglected.
