Explanation:

  1. Symptoms of malnutrition are assessed by healthcare providers when they screen for the condition. Tools that are used to identify malnutrition include weight loss and body mass index (BMI) charts, blood tests for micronutrient status and physical exams ( 17 , 18 , 19).
  2. Intravenous feeding is used when the digestive tract cannot adequately absorb nutrients, as occurs in severe malabsorption disorders. It is also used when the digestive tract must be temporarily kept free of food, as is needed during certain stages of ulcerative colitis.
  3. Prognostic impact of malnutrition. Malnutrition affects morbidity by impaired wound healing and immune system with increased rate of infectious and non-infectious complication rate and a general impairment of convalescence.
