2. 10 Points Holt has suffered a stroke and has been transferred from the hospital to the rehab center. She is unable to stand to obtain a height due to left side hemiparesis.  The speech therapist has also determined that she is at risk for aspiration and will need a gastric tube feeding until she is able to eat by mouth again.  Mrs. Holt is a 75 year old white female.  Her left leg knee length is 48.5 cm.
