What problem can occur if water separates from pureed food?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The consistency may become uneven and swallowing risk may increase
Water separation makes a puree unstable: one portion may become thin and flow quickly while another remains thick. For a person with dysphagia, the rapidly flowing part may be difficult to control and could increase aspiration risk. The mixture should be checked for uniformity before serving. Therefore, A is correct.
