Chicago says to hyphenate if before the verb but not to if after the verb. The examples given (section 5.93) are "a well-trained athlete" vs. "an athlete who is well trained." I thought I'd learned this rule doesn't apply with the verb "to be" but apparently that's not the case, given these examples

How do you know when to hyphenate well-nourished and well-developed in a sentence?
You should hyphenate well nourished and well developed IF followed by a noun - i.e., "well-nourished and well-developed man" or "well-nourished and well-developed patient". If the noun is before these, then you would not hyphenate - i.e., "The patient is well nourished and well developed". This would also be true for the following: "well-healed scar" or "the scar is well healed". Answer provided by a medical transcriptionist with 18 years experience.
