Which option is better for a patient with chewing difficulty?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mashed potato
Mashed potato has a soft, moist, and relatively smooth texture, so it usually requires much less chewing than hard gram, raw radish, or a dry crunchy snack. The answer concerns food consistency, not protein or sodium content. The mash should be prepared without troublesome lumps and offered only if its thickness is safe for the individual patient.
