  • Title: Nutritional assessment in cancer cachexia.
    Author: Edelstein S.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 1991; 17(3):237-40. PubMed ID: 2062582.
    Abstract:
    Cancer cachexia causes nutritional depletion due to the tumor burden and the patient's inability to eat. A nutritional assessment is valuable in assisting the medical team in nutritionally repleting malnourished patients. Using readily available information, the practitioner can determine nutritional assessment and plan interventions that help the child to successfully withstand cancer and its treatment.
