A 68-year-old male has been admitted to the hospital for nutritional deficiencies. Approximately 6 months ago, he had part of his duodenum surgically removed following a bowel obstruction.
 
  The nurse understands that the patient's nutritional deficiencies are occurring because
  1. His diet is low in minerals and vitamins.
  2. Enzymes produced in the duodenum are not available.
  3. Removal of the duodenum made the colon too short for proper absorption.
  4. His ability to absorb nutrients is decreased.
