Answer to Question 1

B
The benefits of adequate dietary intake in patients with cancer include increased ability to tole-rate the effects of therapy. Hypertension is not usually related to cancer. Adequate dietary intake does not necessarily prevent metastasis of the disease or hair loss.

Answer to Question 2

A
The syndrome of loss of lean body mass and body fat stores that occurs in many patients with cancer is called cachexia. Anorexia refers to loss of appetite or restriction of food intake without the metabolic effects that cause excessive wasting; anorexia may contribute to cachexia in pa-tients with cancer. Neoplasia refers to the abnormal proliferation of cells seen in cancer. Cata-bolism refers to the breakdown of lean tissue and fat leads to wasting.
