Semi-liquid diet is considered between which consistencies?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Between fully liquid and solid
A semi-liquid diet has more body than a thin liquid but is not firm enough to be considered a solid diet. Examples may include appropriately prepared thin porridge, smooth custard, or similar foods, depending on the prescription. Its exact thickness should follow the patient’s tolerance and professional advice, especially when swallowing is impaired.
