The family of a 68y year old man who is in the end stages of small cell lung cancer are distraught at his visible body wasting that has worsened in recent weeks. Which phenomena best accounts for the client's anorexia and cachexia

Explanation:

During the course of lung cancer treatment and illness, an adult person is more likely to have anorexia and cachexia. This is due to nutritional deficit in patients' health. A well nourished patient can put up with cancer treatment much more better than a malnourished patient.

In the case of a 68 year old who is in the end stages of small cell lung cancer, he is more likely to contract anorexia and cachexia due to his nutritional deficit. At this age, his physical health would be more fragile and vulnerable than other younger patients. Though early nutritional imbalances were to be assessed early, his metabolism wouldn't keep up with the disease.

Anti-cancer therapies tend to cause many nutritional and functional impacts during its course of treatment. Therefore, proper nutritional assessment should be done before the process of treatment.

explanation:

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
