  1. cancer cells divert nutrients away from normal cells.
  2. cancer cells make the client feel hungry.
  3. tumors increase the sense of taste and smell.
  4. cancer cells anabolize body tissue and muscle protein.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1

1. Cancer cells divert nutrients away from healthy cells to support the rapid growth of malignant cells.
2. Cancer cells secrete substances that produce a sense of satiety and alter the sense of taste and smell so the client is not interested in food. Eventually, weight loss and wasting occur as the cells continue to grow.
