Nutrition Problem Nutrition Diagnosis
1 . Increased energy and protein requirements associated with sepsis Increased protein needs
2 . Poor oral intake of nutrients over the past four months r/t recent bypass surgery Inadequate oral intake
3 . Depletion of lean body mass d/t sepsis and inability to take in enough protein on a regular diet Malnutrition
