3 . Depletion of lean body mass d/t sepsis and inability to take in enough protein on a regular diet Malnutrition
4 . Recent Roux-en-Y bypass surgery, restrictive and malabsorptive digestion Altered GI function
5 . Reduced absorptive surface secondary to bariatric surgery Predicted suboptimal vitamin/mineral intake
