Is it possible to have a normal weight and yet be malnourished?

 

A: Yes. A patient may have sufficient caloric intake, yet the patient may not be receiving enough vitamins and nutrients. For example, patients with pressure sores need additional protein, vitamin C and zinc to heal the pressure sore.
