Answer to Question 1

Fever, nausea, fear, depression, chemotherapy, and radiation can destroy appetite. Vomiting, diarrhea, chemotherapy, radiation, and some medications can reduce or prevent absorption of nutrients. When undergoing diagnostic or surgical procedures, the person has food and fluid restrictions. These restrictions, with reduced nutrient and calorie intake, occur at a time when the nutritional status could have a major impact on the prognosis.
