Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hello shellwipp@... ( Wipper), In reference to your comment: è He had many questions about nutritional support at è this time and is also very interested in vitamin è supplements to assist with the *kerkexia* that has è developed in this patient. And in the objective she è states: The patient is a thin, very *kerkexic* Caucasian è male who appears to be quite fatigued as evidenced by è falling asleep during exam, although his mental status è shows that he is alert and oriented times three and è able to give a good history along with his wife. è Thanks!! The words you are looking for are cachexia and cachectic per Stedman's, meaning weight loss and wasting. Hope this helps Jan " Typing is my life " (said sarcastically) Remember... WSTPMTR (which means, whoever signs the paycheck makes the rules). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hello cutterdog@... (Marsha Macchi), In reference to your comment: è cachexic, According to Stedman's there is no such word as cachexic. It would be cachectic or cachexia. Where did you find cachexic?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hi, Marsha here. I think the word you want is cachexic, a wasting of the patient due to cancer or other illness. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hi, Marsha here. No, you are correct. The word is cachectic. I mistyped!!! Sorry about that.
