If a kidney patient has fluid restriction, why are soup and juice also counted?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because they are part of total fluid intake
Fluid restriction applies to more than plain water. Soup, juice, milk, ice cream, watery desserts and other liquid foods contain substantial water and contribute to the daily fluid total. Counting them prevents accidental excess intake, which may worsen swelling, breathlessness or blood pressure in some renal patients. Therefore option A is correct.
