Answer to Question 1

 Potential etiologies: obesity, insulin resistance (T2DM), cystic fibrosis, metabolic syndrome, parenteral nutrition, medications (e.g. amiodarone, tamoxifen, corticosteroids), pancreatic-duodenal resection, hypopituitarism, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism ,and iatrogenic contributions
 Genetic contributions: cystic fibrosis, patatin-like phospholipase 3 gene (associated with inflammation)

Answer to Question 2

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
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
