Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should document the loss of appetite following prolonged illness as anorexia. Emaciation is excessive leanness. Cachexia is the general wasting away of body tissue. Nausea usually precedes vomiting and is associated with gastrointestinal sensations.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should document this condition as projectile vomiting. Projectile vomiting occurs with great force. The act of vomiting without producing vomitus is known as retching, whereas regurgitation is the process of bringing stomach contents to the throat and mouth without the effort of vomiting. Emesis is the substance that is vomited.
