Which statement best describes the purpose of a therapeutic diet in a healthcare setting?

To control patients' eating habits
To fulfill personal food cravings
To aid in the treatment or management of health conditions
To limit water intake

The correct answer is: To aid in the treatment or management of health conditions

A therapeutic diet in a healthcare setting is specifically tailored to aid in the treatment or management of health conditions. These diets are designed by healthcare professionals such as dietitians or physicians to meet the specific nutritional needs of patients with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or kidney problems. The primary goal of a therapeutic diet is to promote health and well-being by managing and improving various health conditions through appropriate nutrition. Options A, B, and D are not accurate because controlling patients' eating habits, fulfilling personal food cravings, or limiting water intake are not the primary purposes of a therapeutic diet in a healthcare setting.
