A malnourished patient has been diagnosed with protein
deficiency. Which complications should the nurse anticipate
(select all that apply.)?
a. Edema
b. Asthma
c. Anemia
d. Malabsorption syndrome
e. Impaired wound healing
f. Gastrointestinal bleeding Correct Answers A C E (Protein
deficiency can cause complications such as edema, anemia, and
impaired wound healing. Decreased albumin in the vascular
space allows fluids to leak into the interstitial spaces causing
edema. Without adequate protein, blood formation is impaired.
Adequate protein is required for wound healing. Asthma does
not develop due to protein deficiency. However, protein
deficiency causes muscle weakness that could contribute to
exacerbation of many conditions. A malabsorption syndrome
may affect the amount of nutrients that are absorbed causing
, protein deficiency. Gastrointestinal bleeding is not a
complication of protein deficiency.)

BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is normal, and this patient's BMI is below
normal; a major weight loss is defined as more than a 2% weight
change over 1 week; and the expected hemoglobin level for a
man is 14 to 18 g/dL. The patient's values may also indicate
dehydration. The expected level for prealbumin is 15 to 36
mg/dL. A hematocrit level of 50% is within normal limits.)
