Answer to Question 1

 His weight loss is considered severe, which puts him at nutritional risk. (Anything >10 unplanned weight loss over six months is considered to be severe.) Additionally, the physical assessment indicating some muscle wasting suggests malnutrition, too.
 Factors that may have contributed to his weight loss include:
- Odynophagia
- Decreased appetite
- Early satiety
- Anorexia
- Dysgeusia
 Mr. Seyer notes that he has not been able to eat because of the pain, feeling full early, and a diminished appetite. He also stated that liquids are easier to consume due to the pain, toast is too dry and bacon isn't appealing.
 These factors in combination with increased needs due to the malignancy have resulted in significant weight loss over a short time period.

Answer to Question 2

 UBW: 198/228 = 0.87 x 100 = 87 UBW  13 weight loss in last 5-6 months
BMI: 198/752 x 703 = 24.7 (within normal limits)
