A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for a clear liquid diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse allow the client to have?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Grape juice. A clear liquid diet includes fluids that are translucent and easily digested. Grape juice fits this criteria as it is a clear liquid that provides essential hydration and some calories. Milkshake (A) contains dairy and fat, making it unsuitable for a clear liquid diet. Lemon sherbet (C) and vanilla ice cream (D) are frozen desserts, not clear liquids.
