How much chewing is needed in a full liquid diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Very little
A full liquid diet consists mainly of liquids and very soft preparations such as milk, yoghurt, strained soup, smooth custard, and suitable thin porridge. These foods generally require very little chewing because they can be swallowed as liquids or soft textures. A normal solid diet requires substantially more chewing. However, the exact prescription depends on the patient, and swallowing ability must be assessed rather than assumed.
