Pt. is currently not meeting estimated needs for kcal, PRO, or fluids. Pt. is currently consuming
about 74% of the amount offered, which is considered to be good intake. However, the estimated
actual consumption does not meet the estimated needs of the pt. His fluid intake is also averaging
less than half the amount needed.
