The clear liquid diet consists of fluids that are clear and transparent at room temperature. This includes water, broth, fruit juices without pulp, and clear fruit-flavored beverages. Popsicles made from clear liquids such as fruit juices and gelatin desserts are also allowed. Chicken broth, apple juice, and popsicles are all appropriate choices for a clear liquid diet. Yogurt, beef broth, scrambled eggs, coffee, orange juice, Jell-O, and ice cream are not appropriate for a clear liquid diet. A clear liquid diet is typically prescribed for patients who are recovering from surgery or experiencing digestive issues. It includes only liquids that are clear and easily digested. Therefore, options B, C, and D contain items that are not appropriate for a clear liquid diet. Option A contains appropriate items such as chicken broth, apple juice, and a popsicle.
