What is appropriate if a patient vomits during diet progression?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reassess tolerance and temporarily return to the previous tolerated diet level
Vomiting may indicate poor tolerance, overly rapid advancement, delayed gastric emptying, infection, medication effects, or another clinical problem. The patient should be assessed, hydration and safety considered, and the diet temporarily returned to the last tolerated stage when appropriate. Progression can resume gradually only after symptoms improve and the responsible clinical team agrees.
