What should be done if a low-residue diet is needed for a long time?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nutrition status should be reviewed regularly
A long-term low-residue diet may restrict fibre-rich foods and reduce variety, so the patient can become vulnerable to inadequate energy, vitamins, minerals, or protein. Regular review of weight, symptoms, intake, hydration, and laboratory findings allows the diet to be adjusted safely and expanded when clinically appropriate.
