The nurse is teaching a client and family about the necessity of maintain optimal nutrition for the member of the family diagnosed with cancer. The goal of teaching is for the family to understand that:
 
  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

A client who has been diagnosed with a benign tumor asks the nurse how long it will be until the tumor begins to spread. The nurse should teach the client that:
 
  1. malignant tumors are slow-growing.
  2. benign tumors are encapsulated and local.
  3. benign tumors spread through the lymphatic system.

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.
