Why is the risk of nutrient inadequacy higher in a clear-liquid diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It provides limited items and is not nutritionally complete
A clear-liquid diet usually includes transparent fluids such as water, clear broth, strained juice, or plain gelatin. It is designed for short-term clinical purposes and generally provides inadequate energy, protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Prolonged use requires reassessment and, when necessary, an appropriate transition or specialised nutrition support.
