What can cause wrong identification of a therapeutic diet in a hospital?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Not checking patient's name and diet prescription
A therapeutic diet must be matched with the correct patient and the current prescription. Failing to check the patient’s identity, bed information, allergies, diet order or food label can result in the wrong texture, nutrient restriction or feeding plan being served. This creates a serious safety risk. Covered food, handwashing and clean utensils support safety rather than cause misidentification. D is correct.
