Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymeric formulas are not ideal for clients with malabsorption syndrome because these formulas are made from whole proteins, which require more digestive work to break down. Clients with malabsorption syndrome have a compromised ability to digest and absorb nutrients, making simpler, more easily absorbed formulas like monomeric or oligomeric more suitable.
