A clear liquid diet consists of foods that are clear and liquid at room or body temperature (e.g., water, clear fruit juice, gelatin, popsicles). Caution should be exercised with regard to the amount of caffeine received by patients on clear liquids. Coffee with milk, orange juice, and ice cream are not clear liquids.
Answer to Question 2
C
Human milk is the most desirable complete diet for infants during the first 6 months. Infants who are breast- or bottle-fed human milk do not require additional fluids, especially water or juice, during the first 4 months of life. Excessive intake of water causes water intoxication, failure to thrive, and hyponatremia. Typically, infants do not consume solid foods until 4 to 6 months of age. Iron-fortified infant cereal is usually the first solid food to be offered.
