Practice Question

The nurse is caring for a client who is ordered a clear liquid diet. Which of the following items are permitted on this type of diet? Select all that apply.

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Gelatin

Rationale:

🍮Gelatin is a commonly accepted item on a clear liquid diet, as it is fully liquid at body temperature and leaves no residue.

🍦However, ice cream and pudding are not permitted on a true clear liquid diet because they are opaque, contain dairy, and require digestion.

❌These items are part of a full liquid diet, not a clear one, which is usually ordered in preparation for diagnostic procedures or to rest the GI tract.

🔬The correct clear liquid choices should include transparent and non-residue fluids, and this answer contradicts the standard dietary guidelines for clear liquid diets.

📌Core Message

Only transparent fluids and non-residue items like gelatin are included in a clear liquid diet; ice cream and pudding are not appropriate.
