On what basis should the shift from liquid diet to soft diet be decided?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Patient tolerance and medical condition
Progression from a liquid to a soft diet should be guided by the patient’s medical condition, swallowing and digestive tolerance, intake and clinical instructions. Advancing too quickly can cause discomfort, vomiting or swallowing problems, while delaying unnecessarily may limit nutrition. Diet progression should therefore be gradual, observed and individualized.
