ANSWER

ANS: 1
Custard is included in a full liquid diet. Pureed meats are allowed in a pureed diet, not a full liq-uid diet. Soft fresh fruit is not included in a full liquid diet. Fresh fruit is often part of a high-fiber diet. Cooked or canned fruits are allowed on a mechanical soft diet. Canned soup is not part of full liquid diet because it may contain noodles or rice or vegetables. Soups are allowed on a mechanical soft diet.
