Jake is a 32-year-old patient who is recovering from major abdominal surgery and organ resection following a

catastrophic motor vehicle accident. Due to the nature of his injuries, a large portion of his jejunum had to be resected. In planning for his recovery and nutritional needs, the AGACNP considers that:

A. He will probably be able to transition to oral nutrition but will have lifetime issues with diarrhea

B. His procedure has put him at significant risk for B12 absorption problems

C. Most jejunum absorption functions will be assumed by the ileum

D. Enteral nutrition will need to be delayed for 3 to 6 months to facilitate adaptation
