That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea, especially in hospitalized patients receiving enteral nutrition. However, the question asks for the LEAST cause of diarrhea. Out of the given options, malnutrition, soluble fiber, and loss of blood can all potentially contribute to diarrhea in a hospitalized patient. Therefore, the correct answer is Clostridium difficile, as it is the least likely cause of diarrhea in this scenario.
