Uneaten meals suggest that the client is not consuming the food provided, which can lead to inadequate intake of nutrients and calories, thus indicating possible malnutrition.
A wound that won't heal can be a sign of malnutrition, as proper nutrition is essential for wound healing and maintenance of skin integrity.
Rough and dry skin can be indicative of malnutrition, particularly if there is a deficiency in essential fatty acids and other nutrients that maintain skin health.
Edema to the face and lower extremities can be a sign of protein-energy malnutrition, where the body does not get enough protein to maintain plasma oncotic pressure, leading to fluid accumulation in tissues.
