What is the benefit of gradual progression from clear liquid to full liquid and then soft diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nutrition increases according to digestive tolerance
Clear liquids are usually easy to tolerate but may provide limited energy and protein. Advancing gradually to full liquids and then soft foods allows greater nutrient variety and density while the patient is monitored for nausea, vomiting, bloating, pain or diarrhoea. Progression should be based on clinical tolerance, not a rigid timetable. Thus option A is correct.
