Q

If sufficient energy is NOT attained from the patients diet, the body will convert fat and protein to energy. This is known as

A

the protein sparing effect , this process solves energy problems, but if protein sources are not replenished, the patient will develop a protein defecit, which slows/halts wound healing.
