Why is gradual progression needed when moving from a liquid diet to a normal diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To assess the patient’s tolerance
After a liquid diet, the digestive system may not immediately tolerate regular solid food. Progressing through liquids, semi-liquids, soft foods, and then normal consistency permits observation of nausea, vomiting, bloating, pain, diarrhoea, and appetite. The amount and texture can be advanced safely according to tolerance.
